What to expect
You'll start on dry land learning how diving gear works and how to equalise pressure in your ears as you descend. The instructor will walk you through each step without rushing. Then it's aboard the boat to a calm, shallow bay near Santa Ponsa—nothing technical, just clear water and nearby reefs. Your dive lasts roughly 30–40 minutes at a relaxed pace. The whole outing runs three hours. You'll feel the weight of the tank and the sensation of breathing underwater; it's strange at first, then surprisingly natural. Water temperature and visibility are typically good on the island.
