DESCRIPTION
Initiation course on diving in an autonomous diving suit (with compressed-air cylinder). Medaqua runs this exciting, 100% safe activity in the sea, with a qualified diving instructor accompanying each participant individually.
On arrival at L'Estartit, there is an introduction to the activity, with a video explaining the basics of diving. Prior to departure, participants are provided with wetsuits, mask and fins. The boat then brings the group to Falaguer, a sheltered, shallow-water cove which is an ideal place for learning to dive.
When the boat has moored, participants are helped into the heavy equipment (air cylinder, lead weights, jacket, etc.) and start to dive. The actual dive lasts for 20-25 minutes, at a maximum depth of12 metres. A qualified diving instructor accompanies each participant individually.
The diving baptism is safe and easy, and is an ideal first approach to this thrilling sport. No diploma or previous experience is necessary.
EQUIPMENT PROVIDED
5 mm wetsuits, masks, fins, regulators, life jackets, etc.
Each boat is fully equipped with safety measures and a motorised dinghy.

Swimsuit and towel; sweatshirt (or similar) in cooler weather.
