Full description
Would you like to breathe underwater like a real diver, exploring wonderful seabeds? We have just the activity for you!
Dive into the Tuscan waters at the foot of Monte Argentario, in the company of experienced diving instructors. Learn how to use the equipment, how to manage your breathing, and explore the underwater world, among different species of fish and aquatic creatures.
An authentic "Baptism of the Sea" suitable for everyone and with no licence requirement.
What we will do
We will meet in Porto Ercole (GR) at 8.15 am. After the arrival of all participants, we will hold an introductory briefing and a theoretical-practical lesson on the fundamentals of diving.
Having then prepared all thenecessary equipment (included in the participation fee), we will embark to reach the dive site. After about 10 minutes of sailing, we will dive into the water together with the instructor.
The 'sea baptism' takes place under the close supervision of the guides, who will never let us out of their sight and will accompany us step by step through this incredible experience. We will spot a multitude of fish and a marine nature that will leave us speechless.
Theguided underwater dive takes about 30 minutes. There will then be another stop where we can snorkel (again, equipment is included).
Before returning, we will have lunch "alla marinara" on board the boat, with a plate of pasta, bruschetta, dessert, fruit, wine and coffee. Snacks and drinks will also be available on board during the tour.
Return to Porto Ercole is scheduled around 16:30. The activity lasts approximately 8 hours.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level and is suitable for everyone from 10 years old and up. No patent is required, but you must be able to swim.
Other information
This activity can be carried out all year round, subject to weather and sea conditions, and is confirmed when there are at least 10 participants.
The participation fee includesfull equipment. It is possible to rent an underwater video camera at an extra cost of €25 (payable locally).
It is strongly discouraged to scuba dive 24 hours before an aeroplane flight, as, due to the lower atmospheric pressure on board the plane, nitrogen, which may have remained in the body, may form bubbles inside the tissues that can obstruct blood flow.
