On board the boat, you will be given the necessary equipment and set off to reach the point selected for your first dive. After about 20 minutes of sailing, you will be in front of theCorbella islet, at which point you will have an introductory lesson on basic scuba diving techniques.
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!
