Full description

Breathing underwater like a fish is easy... with the right equipment!

Experience the thrill of a sea baptism in Sardinia and realise your dream of diving underwater for the first time in the company of a diving instructor.

We are waiting for you at Marina di Puntaldia, near San Teodoro, to discover together the beauty of the seabed of theTavolara Protected Marine Area.

What we will do

The appointment is at the diving centre in Marina di Puntaldia, in the municipality of San Teodoro (SS), at 15:00.

Here we will meet our diving instructor and begin our preparation, before boarding the dinghy that will take us to theTavolara Protected Marine Area.

The activity will begin with a quick and fun briefing of about 15 minutes, which will take place before departure or directly at sea, depending on the weather and sea conditions. Through a series of exercises, we will learn how to use diving equipment and breathe underwater in total safety.

Once we have learnt the theoretical basics, it will be time to dive into the water at a spot chosen between Isola Ruja, Isola del Fico or another spot in the Marine Protected Area. We will dive for about 20 minutes at a depth of 6-7 metres, admiring clouds of damselfish, bream, small groupers, crabs and many other marine species all around us.

Having experienced the magic of this rich and surprising marine life, it will be time to return to the surface and recover our energy with a small snack offered on board.

We will return to port between 17:30 and 18:00, after approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes of activities, including briefing, diving and transfers.
