Through the course you will improve your diving techniques, correct your movements and learn how to better coordinate them. You will be able to hold your breath longer and, of course, you will focus on theapproach to catching fish by moving discreetly and silently underwater.
Each lesson will be divided into a first theoretical part and a second practical part, in which you will put into practice what you have learnt. After the theoretical lesson on land, you will go down to the beach at the Maratea Dock with the instructor and carry out adiving exercise that will last about an hour.
