When you are ready, wearing your fins, mask and wetsuit, you will dive with your guide to a maximum depth of 5 metres. The guide will follow your every move and will never let you out of his sight, pointing out the wonders of the underwater world, the fish and the various features of the seabed. You will be fascinated and can't wait to dive again!
