\"Baptism<\/h2><\/blockquote>

PADI only allows children to learn to dive from the age of eight and up. For this reason, PADI created a diving course called Bubblemaker for participants aged between eight and nine years old. In this diving program, the child descends to a maximum depth of 2mt, always under the supervision of a PADI Instructor. If the participant’s age is over 10 years old they can enjoy\u00a0 the official PADI Discover Scuba Diving<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>

” Diving for beginners in Ibiza is a very safe and fun experience, our PADI instructors will teach you the basics of diving to have a great diving experience<\/strong> “<\/h2><\/blockquote>

What will I be able to see during the dive\u00a0 ?<\/h2>

Depending on the dive area you will see small rockfish, starfish, octopus, cuttlefish, anemones, lamellibranchs, schools of goldfish and the Posidonia Oceanica meadows. The latter is protected by UNESCO for their high ecological value in the marine ecosystem of Ibiza.<\/p>

In addition, you will be able to observe the crystal clear waters of the Ibiza coast, with a visibility of 30 meters deep, without currents or tides.<\/p>

In short, an ideal underwater paradise to enjoy your first experience and continue your training with more advanced courses such as PADI Scuba Diver<\/a> or PADI Open Water.<\/a><\/p>

    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING IN IBIZA<\/strong><\/h2>

    The Official PADI Program consists in ONE dive, for approximately 35 minutes, under the supervision of our PADI Instructors.<\/strong><\/p>

    It is performed from our boat, in a magnificent location 20 minutes from the North Zone of San Antonio port, near Cala Salada, specifically Punta Galera or nearby areas.<\/p>

    During the trip the Instructors will give you a theoretical class, they will equip you, and we will arrange small groups.<\/p>

    As we enter the fantastic underwater world from shallow waters, we will follow the instructors in a circular route, and we will be able to observe rockfish, starfish, octopus, anemones, spirographs and the well-known seaweed (Posidonia oce\u00e1nica) protected by Unesco in a unique and wild environment.<\/p>

    We will also carry out under the supervision of the instructors a series of basic exercises, such as cleaning the mask and recovering the regulator, totally necessary to obtain the certificate of international validity, which will be delivered and signed by the Instructor assigned at the end of the activity.<\/p>

    Once we finish the experience, we will return to the boat, and another group will do the experience, meanwhile, you can relax on our deck taking the sun, swimming or snorkelling (diving with mask and tube). When all groups finish, we will return to Port in 20 minutes.<\/p>

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

    \"Beginner<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    First, we will meet at the meeting point and fill out the medical forms we will give you, necessary to practice the activity.<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    Instructors’ assistants will equip you, and later, we will organize the groups to dive safely and with a reduced number of divers.<\/p>

    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 snorkel), sunbathing on our sun deck, swimming or simply relaxing in our fantastic boat.<\/p>

    Once we have to dive, the instructors and assistants will help us to enter into the water from the\u00a0 boat, without any vicissitudes (such as jumping on the back as James Bond).<\/p>

    \"buceo<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    This fauna consists of rockfish, sea stars, octopus, cuttlefish and abundant flora such as anemones and nudibranchs,<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    The dive itself consists of a circular underwater route through which we will pass through several habitats, such as the meadows of Posidonia protected by Unesco, along with rocky areas.<\/p>

    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.<\/p>

    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.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
