What to expect
Your instructor will walk you through the fundamentals before entering the water—how to equalise pressure, breathe calmly, and move in the weightless space below. You'll descend into the Abades reserve, a protected pocket of reef teeming with Mediterranean marine life. The pace is gentle and built around your comfort; your guide stays close throughout. Expect to spend most of the 2.5 hours in or near the water, learning by doing rather than watching from a boat. The water temperature and visibility vary by season, so check conditions closer to your date.
Good to know
Bring moderate fitness and good cardiovascular health. Avoid diving if pregnant or living with spinal injuries. You must wait at least 12 hours after your dive before flying. Service animals are welcome. Infants sit on an adult's lap. Videos of your dive aren't included.
