The use of certain Content or Services on the Website may require prior User registration.

The User acknowledges and agrees that The Ocean Explorers may, at any time, interrupt, deactivate, and/or cancel any elements integrated into the Website or access thereto.

The Website provides a wide range of information, services, and data. The User assumes responsibility for making proper use of the Website, which includes:

  • Using the information, Content, and/or Services provided by The Ocean Explorers in a manner that does not contravene this Legal Notice, applicable law, morality, or public order, and does not infringe upon the rights of third parties or the proper functioning of the Website.

The Ocean Explorers reserves the right to remove any comments or contributions that violate the law, respect for human dignity, are discriminatory, xenophobic, racist, pornographic, spamming, or that threaten youth, children, public order, or security, or that are otherwise deemed inappropriate for publication.

In any case, The Ocean Explorers shall not be held responsible for opinions expressed by Users through comments, blogs, or other participation tools.

Accessing the Website does not establish any commercial relationship between The Ocean Explorers and the User.


A contractual or commercial relationship will only exist when the User formally contracts a service (for example, after a call and after expressly accepting a proposal/booking terms and/or making a deposit/payment, where applicable).


This Website and its Services are intended for persons aged 18 or older. If you are under 18, you must not submit personal data through forms or use booking/contact channels.
However, for data protection purposes in Spain, and in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, only individuals aged fourteen (14) or older may lawfully consent to the processing of their personal data. If the User is under fourteen (14) years of age, parental or guardian consent is required for processing their data, which shall be considered lawful only if authorized by them.
(This paragraph preserves and aligns your original legal threshold, while the “18+ only” rule remains your business policy.)

In compliance with current legislation, the Website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of age. However, under the Privacy Policy and in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 (GDPR) and Article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018 of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights, only individuals aged fourteen (14) or older may lawfully consent to the processing of their personal data by The Ocean Explorers.
