We meet at our dive centre, located at the entrance of Calvi's marina next to the paying car park. Then, our instructors will give you a quick theory session and hand over your diving equipment. When we are all ready, we will board our boat and head to the dive site. Once there, the instructor will give you an introduction on the use of the equipment. You will dive in groups of 3 with your instructor for about 40 minutes. Finally, after 2.5 hours of activity, we will return to the dive centre.
