Curious about scuba diving? Experience your first dive in the crystal-clear waters of Tarifa, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, one of the most unique dive spots in Europe!
With the help of certified PADI instructors from YellowSub Tarifa, you'll learn the basics of scuba diving and enjoy your first underwater adventure, all in just half a day. No prior experience needed!
Your scuba diving experience begins with a brief theory session, where you'll learn how to breathe underwater, use the scuba gear, and follow key safety procedures.
Then, it's time for your first dip! In shallow, confined waters (around 1 metre deep), you'll practice simple exercises to get comfortable with the equipment and sensations.
Once you're ready, you’ll board a boat to reach the stunning Isla de las Palomas, just off the coast in the Gibraltar Strait. There, you’ll dive to a depth of 8 to 10 metres, under the direct supervision of your instructor, and finally discover the beauty of Tarifa’s underwater world!
With its mix of Atlantic and Mediterranean ecosystems, Tarifa offers an ideal environment for a first dive: calm, clear waters, diverse marine life, and an experienced local team to guide you every step of the way.
