Full description

Did you think that breathing underwater was only possible for fish and mermaids? What if we told you that you could do it too?

Dive with us for a 3-hour sea baptism experience in the La Maddalenaarchipelago. Dive into the magical world of scuba diving off the Sardinian coast and learn how to float like a true creature of the abyss among rocks, seaweed and colourful fish, under the guidance of a diving instructor.

Sebastian the crab said this to his friend Ariel and we agree: "What luck to live together at the bottom of the sea!"

What we will do

We will meet at the time agreed at the time of booking in La Maddalena (SS). Awaiting us will be our diving instructor, who will immediately have us fill out the necessary documentation to carry out the activity.

Our equipment measurements will be taken and, immediately afterwards, we will be accompanied to the outdoor area where the instructor will demonstrate equipment assembly techniques. We will participate in a briefing where the various functions of the equipment and the exercises to be done in the water will be explained.

At this point, while the staff have completed transporting the equipment onto the dinghy, we will board and move towards Porto Rafael, a safe area sheltered from the wind, 5-8 minutes away from our base.

Another briefing will take place on board the dinghy where we will review the exercises explained earlier. We will then don our equipment and be ready to dive from 3 to 5 metres. Each instructor will follow a group of 2-3 people in the water.

In this phase, the exercises will take place: if we prove ourselves able to cope with the dive, we will be able to go a little deeper, up to a maximum of 12 metres. Even this deep, we will still be illuminated by plenty of sunlight!

What will be waiting for us at the bottom of the sea? A sandy seabed with seaweed and rocks, populated by octopuses, amberjacks and sea breams. And, if we are lucky, we may even come across sea eagles. The beauty will lie in letting ourselves be surprised by the unexpected, discovering a fragile and fascinating ecosystem , breathing underwater almost as if we were flying.

We will spend a total of 40 to 50 minutes in the water, at the end of which we will return to the dinghy and then to the diving centre. Here we will receive our certificate of participation as a memento of this day.

The experience will last about 3 hours in total.
