The first thing you need is to book your experience here on our website.
You can book for yourself, come with someone or give it to someone else.
When you have your reservation, we will talk to specify which day is best for you to come and have an instructor available for your activity.

If you are three friends, you will be there. in the water with two instructors.
The day you come we will do some paperwork, we have to fill out a responsible health declaration where we say that we are healthy, you can see the medical questionnaire here, we will also do insurance.
Afterwards, a safety talk with audiovisual support to tell you everything we will do while we are on the boat and in the water.
In the changing room we will put on the wetsuit and leave our personal things in a locker, we will go down to the boat and take a walk to the dive site.
We will jump into the water in a shallow area and spend a little time getting used to the equipment in a place where we can stand.
From there we will go deeper with our instructor little by little and enjoy the marine life of the Natural Park for approximately one hour.
Back in the store, hot shower, coffee, diploma, digital certification and a farewell gift.
