Overview

Learn the basics of scuba diving and discover life under the sea. This activity allows you to experience scuba diving without a certification course. Your PADI professional guide will teach you the necessary techniques for a fun and safe beginner's excursion!

After meeting with your instructor, you'll take a quick class to learn basic scuba diving procedures and methods. Then you'll put on your wetsuits and practice with your equipment.

When ready, you'll follow your instructor down to the Mediterranean reef at about 23 feet (7 meters). There is nothing quite like breathing underwater for the very first time!
