Details
Take your first breaths underwater in a protected marine reserve along Mallorca’s stunning coastline. This Discover Scuba Diving experience is designed especially for complete beginners who want a safe, structured, and unforgettable introduction to scuba diving.
You will dive in small groups (max. 6 participants) with two certified PADI Instructors, ensuring close supervision, personal attention, and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the entire experience.
Programme
We meet at our base in El Arenal, 15 minutes before the start of the trial dive. Here, you will meet your instructor, receive your equipment and we will drive to the dive site in our car.
Step 1 – Briefing & Preparation
Before entering the water, your instructor explains the essentials of scuba diving, including equipment use, breathing techniques, safety procedures, and underwater communication. No prior experience is required.
Step 2 – Shallow Water Practice
In calm, shallow water, you practice key skills such as: breathing underwater, equalizing your ears, clearing your mask, communicating with hand signals
All exercises are done slowly and individually. You set the pace, and we continue only once you feel comfortable.
Step 3 – Your First Dive
Once confident, you begin your guided dive in a protected area with a maximum depth of 6 meters. You’ll experience true weightlessness, observe marine life, and explore crystal-clear waters in a controlled and relaxed environment.
