Getting started for the diving adventure!

Diving for the first time is facing the unknown. It is experiencing the sensation of discovering a new unexplored world. This is why we devised these tips so you can have the necessary information and encourage you to immerse yourself in the incredible underwater world:

  • To dive, you shouldn’t have a developed swimming style, just float and move. It is a simple and safe sport. The most important thing is to listen to the instructor, relax and let yourself be carried away by this experience in the wonderful  underwater world.
  • You don’t need previous knowledge. The designated instructor performs a small training class in wich you get instructed in to the basics to begin. They teach the names and parts of the equipment, how to breathe equalize, safety information, how the water skills class will work. After the introduction, the neoprene suit, tank and life jacket or BCD can be placed.
  • Once the equipment has been installed, the new diver performs exercises in the water that consist of: handling the regulator, removing the water from the mask and handling the buoyancy.
  • Buoyancy is the skill that will allow you to stay under the water so it is a term that you will hear followed.
  • The first dive takes  between 40 and 45 minutes.

Some people says that diving is the possibility of feeling like a fish or to fly under the water. Also similar to meditate, because since the moment you begin to submerge, your mind can only concentrate on the marvelous subacuatic world.

The fears that some poeple feel when performing a first scuba dive, are only in their mind. If diving basic rules are followed, it is a very enjoyable and safe sport.

You don’t  need any special skills, just be encouraged to enjoy.
