Acerca de la actividad:

No todos tenemos el tiempo y las posibilidades de bucear todo el año. Y claro, mientras no buceas, tus habilidades empiezan a oxidar..... Si has dejado de bucear, o simplemente después de sacarte el título nunca lo has usado, ya es tiempo de recuperar tus conocimientos. No tienes que empezar de zero, respetamos la experiencia que ya tienes, y te diseñamos un programa para volver al agua. Vamos a repetir algo de teoría, y entrenamos las habilidades más importante a poca profundidad. Lo ajustamos a lo que tú quieres, podemos repetir todo si ha pasado mucho tiempo, o sólo lo esencial si en general todavía te sientes a gusto. Normalmente, después de entrenar, todavía nos queda suficiente tiempo para hacer una inmersión tranquila, para que vuelvas a estar a gusto. Después de esto, ya puedes bucear con un grupo normal - o, si prefieres, también hacer otra inmersión con tu guia privado, hasta que te sientes seguro.

Adventure Tips

Arrive hydrated and well-rested

Good hydration and rest help prevent dehydration and fatigue during your diving refresher.

Review your dive certification

Wear a wetsuit suitable for Atlantic waters

Pacific-influenced Atlantic waters here range between 18–24°C; a 5mm wetsuit is usually best.

Practice slow, deep breathing

Calm breathing will help regain buoyancy control during your practical exercises underwater.
