You step off the harbor jetty in Puerto de Mogán with salt on your lips and the Atlantic flattening into a sheet of blue. Instructors load tanks into a small dive RIB, and the village—white houses and palm-lined channels—falls away as the boat threads toward jagged basalt outcrops where fish congregate.

Complete the health form honestly
Pre-dive medical screening is mandatory—consult a physician if you have asthma, heart issues or recent surgeries.
Bring your own mask if possible
Personal masks ensure fit and comfort for skill practice; rental masks can fog or leak and slow progress.
Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol
Hydration aids equalization and reduces fatigue between dives; alcohol worsens dehydration and is not recommended before diving.
Plan post-dive travel with care
Do not fly for at least 24 hours after your last dive to reduce decompression risk.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
Worn under exposure protection and useful for boat transfers and changing.
Personal dive mask
A well-fitting mask improves skill practice and reduces fogging during drills.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated between sessions helps with equalization and recovery.
Light wind shell or fleece
Post-dive breezes can be cool—having a layer keeps you comfortable on the boat and shore.
