DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING
This official PADI program for beginners without previous experience consists of a great way to dive for the first time into another world with autonomous breathing equipment (SCUBA), in a safe and fun way and always supervised by PADI Instructors.
First, we will meet at the meeting point and fill out the medical forms we will give you, necessary to practice the activity.
We will set sail, heading to the diving location (Punta Galera, Cala Salada and surroundings) and we will arrive in about 20 minutes, meanwhile, the instructors will give you a practical theoretical class about the equipment we will use, the language of the signs of diving, and basic concepts of diving, in our diving boat.
Instructors’ assistants will equip you, and later, we will organize the groups to dive safely and with a reduced number of divers.
While a group dives together with the instructors and assistants of the Instructor, the others who remain on the boat can enjoy practising Snorkeling (diving with mask and tube), sunbathing on our sun deck, swimming or simply relaxing in our fantastic boat.
Once we have to dive, the instructors and assistants will help us to enter into the water from the back of our school boat, without any vicissitudes (such as jumping on the back as James Bond).
Already in the water, the instructors will stay with us asking us how we are. With a simple OK with our hand (which will have previously taught us the language of the signals), we will form the reduced group of diving, descending slowly and progressively to be able to start the activity in a safe and fun way.
Our PADI Instructors, have extensive experience with beginners and will proceed, in the cases that require, to take the hand to give more confidence and security to the beginner.
Once the group is flapping towards the bottom, an Instructor will guide the group and others will confine the group, always being aware of the safety and comfort of the dive of the debutants.
The dive spot is characterized by having a rocky area together with an area of seaweed, where the colourful fauna of the sea of Ibiza coexists symbiotic. This fauna consists of rockfish, sea stars, octopus, cuttlefish and abundant flora such as anemones and nudibranchs, in addition, the visibility of the dive spot in ideal conditions is about 30 mt and without currents or tides, that is, a submarine paradise to enjoy your first experience.
The dive itself consists of a circular underwater route through which we will pass through several habitats, such as the forest of algae of Posidonia protected by Unesco, along with rocky areas. The maximum depth to which we will descend will be 12 mt since, in the area where we carry out the activity, the deepest zone is 15 mt.
After the dive, we will return to the boat and the next group will proceed to enter the water, once everyone has finished, we will arrive at the port in about 20 minutes.
This diving program is the best way to upgrade to more advanced diving courses such as the Scuba Diver or the Open Water that allows you to dive as a fully certified diver in the 5 continents.
