Practical information

With this option you will begin your underwater adventure in the comfortable and familiar setting of the instructor's on-site swimming pool.

You will meet your instructor at the dive center, where they will prepare your equipment and introduce you to its basic functions. After a short safety briefing, you will be led to the pool to practice the same basic exercises.

Once you have had enough time to become familiar with these new skills, you will have some time to swim around the pool becoming accustomed to the new sensations of breathing underwater and swimming with a scuba unit & fins.

After this initial training session, you will be taken to the beach where you will board the boat. Then, you will go to one of the beautiful nearby dive sites where your instructor will escort you on a guided tour of the local environment to a maximum depth of 12 meters. This dive will last approximately 40 minutes.

After the dive, you'll return to the dive center to shower and relax and discuss what you have seen. From start to finish this activity lasts approximately 5 hours.
