You don’t need any prior experience or to know how to swim, because you’ll be accompanied at all times by a professional instructor who will guide you step by step so you feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning.We’ll sail for about 10 minutes to an underwater park, where we’ll do the dive. Once there, we’ll have a briefing where we’ll explain how to breathe, how to communicate underwater, and how the equipment works, so you can easily understand everything and enter the water with confidence. At first, you might feel a little nervous because everything is new… but as soon as you take your first breath underwater and begin to descend, the sensation changes completely. Suddenly, you’re floating in silence, seeing fish, starfish, sea urchins, and seaweed, and discovering a totally different world—peaceful and full of life.The activity is personalized: you’ll dive accompanied by your instructor throughout the entire experience, so you’re never alone. We work with small groups and use modern, high-quality equipment to ensure you feel comfortable and safe at all times.
