About this tour
Spend a morning learning to scuba dive in Costa Brava's crystalline Mediterranean waters, then surface for lunch at a beachside restaurant before exploring the medieval fortifications of Tossa de Mar. This 10-hour tour pairs a genuine introductory dive—supervised by a PADI instructor—with a proper meal and coastal village wandering, giving you a solid feel for whether diving deserves a larger investment of time and money.
Highlights
- First scuba dive with PADI-certified instructor in clear Mediterranean waters
- Spot Mediterranean sea life at depth, not just surface snorkelling
- Three-course lunch with sea views at local beachside restaurant
- Walk the medieval stone ramparts of Tossa de Mar
- Full scuba kit provided; no prior experience required
- Air-conditioned transport between sites included
What to expect
You'll begin with a safety briefing and hands-on familiarisation with gear in shallow water before descending to explore the seabed with your instructor at your side. Expect to spend roughly two hours gearing up, diving, and returning to the boat—it's unhurried and thorough, not rushed. Back on dry land, you'll head to a restaurant overlooking the beach where a three-course meal arrives (water and coffee included, but you'll pay for wine or beer). The afternoon is yours to wander Tossa de Mar's narrow lanes and climb the old castle walls for views across the bay.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Physical fitness is less important than comfort in the water. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and cash for drinks. Book well ahead in peak season.
