Activity Overview
Shore scuba diving is an excellent introduction to the underwater world for first-time divers. The experience begins with registration, a medical declaration and a safety briefing explaining the equipment, breathing techniques and underwater communication signals.
After the briefing, your instructor will help you wear the scuba equipment and practise basic skills in shallow water. Once you feel comfortable, the guided dive begins gradually from the shore. Throughout the experience, the instructor remains close and controls the dive according to your comfort, safety and local sea conditions.
No previous scuba-diving certification is required.
