Full description

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

On the list of things to try, you can't missscuba diving, and thus experience for yourself the incredible sensation of swimming (and breathing!) underwater in the company of an instructor and other friendly inhabitants of the sea.

A20-minute scubadiving adventure to discover the seabed of the Island of Elba!

What we will do

The appointment is at the time selected during the booking process at the meeting point in Portoferraio (LI). Waiting for you will be theinstructor who will accompany you on your first scuba dive!

In the setting of the Padulella Beach, one of the most beautiful on the Island of Elba, you will attend a 30-minute briefing in which you will be explained in detail how the activity will take place and the various functions of the equipment. Afterwards, you will proceed with the dress rehearsal to get familiar with the gav and wetsuit even out of the water.

You will dive directly from the beach, in a delimited area of the Scoglietto Biological Protection Marine Reserve, an area protected from boats and where it is possible to encounter many different species of fish such as groupers, damselfish, octopus and barracuda. In the company of only your instructor, you will venture for 20 minutes down to a depth of 5 metres, discovering for the first time the thrill of breathing underwater!

The experience will last about 1½ hours in total , at the end of which you will receive your sea baptism certificate.
