Activity description

One of the best ways to give a boost to your holidays is going scuba diving. It doesn't matter if you have never tried it before, you will learn how to use the scuba equipment from zero, and most of all you will go diving in a magnificent reef that will leave you speechless! Hurry up! Don't miss the chance to get a selfie with an octopus!

Discover Scuba Diving is a fun experience for everyone! You just need to know how to swim - the basics at least. Once you go scuba diving - you never go back. You will love the tranquility of the under-the-surface world, and you will be looking forward to your next dive. You only need to be 14 years old to participate. 

You will be diving in one majestic reef near Santa Barbara beach. The maximum depth to dive in is 12 m. depending on performance. The duration of a dive is 30-40 minutes. The water temperature varies from 17 to 27 degrees Celsius, and the visibility underwater is over 10 metres! You will be seeing vast seagrass beds, huge blocks of stone, small caves full of corals and shells. Looking around you may see herds of pike and sardines, while octopuses and groupers hide deep inside the caves. If you get lucky you may see the most beautiful turtle of the mediterranean sea - Caretta Caretta. 

After a Discover Scuba Diving course you will get your certification and you can go on with your education by following a diver's course!

I really appreciate the beautiful photos you took. The diving spot is truly fascinating. Your patient review of the basics was so helpful, as I had forgotten some things from my last dives a few years ago. Your high-quality equipment added to the sense of security throughout the experience. Thank you so much!

For first-time scuba divers there’s a lot to learn and put into practice, but if you’re up for a bit of a challenge when starting it’s an amazing and fun time. Very important to remain calm and enjoy the scenery!
