What to expect
Your first two days cover pool or confined-water training, covering essential skills like mask-clearing and buoyancy control. By day three, you'll move to open-water dives under instructor supervision, typically to depths of 12 metres. Each dive builds your confidence and technique. The boat journey is comfortable—expect a relaxed pace with refreshments and shaded areas between dives. Bring a hat and towel; the Mediterranean sun is intense. Most people find the rhythm manageable even without prior water experience.
