Conservation
Marine habitats here are sensitive; operators follow no-touch policies, avoid anchoring on seagrass, and encourage reef-safe products to limit impacts.
Reserve your spot on the Private Try Scuba Diving today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive hydrated and rested
Drink water before the briefing—hydration reduces the risk of decompression issues and helps you feel comfortable during the surface swim.
Wear swimwear under a wetsuit
Put your suit on at the dive center to save time; instructors provide wetsuits sized to fit and explain proper zipping and seals.
Protect the sea
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching the seabed or corals—Posidonia meadows are important nursery habitats.
Tell the instructor about health issues
Disclose any recent colds, ear problems or cardiovascular concerns—these affect your ability to equalize and dive safely.
Swimwear
Wear under the wetsuit for a comfortable in-water experience.
Light towel and change of clothes
You’ll want to dry off and change after the session, especially if the water is cool.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the marine environment on the surface and during transit.
