Details
Take your first breaths underwater and discover a whole new world! Together with the experienced and certified diving experts of our team, you can safely get an insight to this incredible sport.
Goal of the course
You have the choice between three slightly different options. During the introductory dive in the pool, you can familiarize yourself with the diving equipment and learn the basics of diving in a short time and at a reasonable price. During the trial dive from the shore or from the boat, you will also learn the basics of this sport and apply the learned knowledge first in the pool before going to sea. Therefore, we drive either by car or by boat to the dive spot. These two options include a light lunch.
Meeting & Preparation
We meet at the booked time at our diving centre in Machico. If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. There you will get your diving equipment from us. Your instructor will show you our dive centre and when everyone is ready we will start with the theoretical introduction before we go into the water. On your first dive, you will be cared for 1 on 1 by your instructor.
