What to expect
After a briefing on equipment and basic technique, you'll enter the water with your instructor at your side. The descent is gradual, allowing your body to adjust to pressure and buoyancy. You'll spend the dive exploring the underwater landscape—rocky outcrops, small caves, and whatever marine life happens to be about. Expect a mix of focus on technique and quiet moments observing the surroundings. The whole experience lasts under two hours, including gearing up and post-dive admin.
Good to know
Bring your own swimsuit, towel and sunscreen. You need moderate fitness and no serious spine, heart or pregnancy concerns to participate. Optional upgrades include extended bottom time (30 minutes instead of 20) or diving alongside a friend.
