Have you always dreamt of diving? Then take advantage of your holidays in Sicily to do this Padi Scuba Diver course in Taormina. It is a course designed for absolute beginners, in which we will teach you the basics about this exciting sport in just two days.
We will do theory lessons and dives in the Taormina Marine Protected Area, an incredible place suitable for beginners but also loved by more experienced divers. This course is the first step towards autonomy, allowing you to dive anywhere in the world. You will always be accompanied by an individual instructor, who will explain to you step by step how to behave in the water. You will experience the incredible feeling of being weightless and feel at one with the marine world while discovering your passion for this exciting sport. At the end of the course you will receive a PADI licence allowing you to dive accompanied by an instructor up to a depth of 12 metres.
The PADI Scuba Diver qualifies you to:
- Dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet
- Dive with a scuba diving instructor by your side
Programme
- On-site theory lecture:
We will provide you with a book to study from and give lessons at our base, during which our instructors will teach you the basics of this sport. You will learn how the equipment works, how to behave in certain situations, and everything you need for your dives.
- Kick-off:
We meet every day directly at our base on Isola Bella beach. You will start using the equipment at sea in confined waters. When you are ready, we will do two open water dives, where you will always be accompanied and followed step by step by your instructor. The course timetable is flexible and can be adjusted on-site according to your needs.
