Fins on your feet, scuba tank on your back & diving mask on your face - once you've got those on, you'll be ready for your very first diving experience! This lesson is aimed at first-timers, total diving beginners, in short: everyone. And by everyone, we mean everyone: swimming skills are not necessary for this specific activity. The only things you'll need are motivation and your swimming suit!
Dive Area
For this specific lesson, Plongée Porto takes its participants to the most beginner-friendly diving spots: Sec des Calanches and Ficajola. The former offers a nice diving area between a small island and the shore, where local underwater fauna and flora can be explored. The latter spot, Ficajola, is located right next to Calanches de Piana, a rocky stretch with beautiful formations. There, numerous different and coloured corals as well as local fish can be admired. Depending on the weather conditions and the group, your instructor will choose one of these two spots for your activity.
Programme
- Meeting & Preparation:
The meeting point for this activity is right at our base. Once the equipment is handed out to and also put on by everyone, your diving instructor will give you a briefing on the safety rules and the correct diving behaviour. After that, you'll be ready to go! Together with your group and instructor, you'll board one of the base's boats that will take you to the chosen diving spot.
- Diving:
The trial scuba diving lesson is a 1-on-1 session, meaning you and your instructor will be the only ones in the water. That way, you'll have their undivided attention during the whole 20 to 25 minutes you'll spend diving and will thus learn and be at ease quite quickly. In case you're not the only participant, you'll have the possibility to go snorkeling while waiting for your turn. If you choose to wait for your turn on the boat, don't forget to drink enough water - staying hydrated is very important, especially when diving or snorkeling.
- Return:
Once everyone has had their turn and found their way back to the boat, you'll be brought back to the base where you can change and get your personal belongings back. After that, you can choose to stay at the base for a drink and enjoy the region's beauty.
