The first breath underwater is a small, electric shock of attention — salt on your lips, the Atlantic pressing cool against your mask, and the shoreline of Amadores Bay sliding away as a small group follows a PADI instructor into a kelp‑dusted world.

Stay hydrated and rested
Aim to be well‑rested and hydrated before your briefing; dehydration and fatigue increase the risk of seasickness and poor buoyancy control.
Wear swimwear under clothes
Arrive wearing your swimsuit and sensible shoes for the short walk to the shore or boat to speed transitions and stay comfortable.
Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior
Do not drink alcohol the day before your dive — it affects hydration and decompression safety even on shallow dives.
Bring a small waterproof bag
A compact waterproof bag keeps your phone, keys, and seasickness remedies dry between shore and base transfers.
Swimwear
Wear under your clothes for quick entry and comfort during the briefing and transfer.
Microfiber towel
Dries quickly after the dive and fits in small transfer vehicles.
Rashguard or thin wetsuit top
Adds warmth and sun protection during surface intervals; useful in cooler months.
