This is a one day introductory course for beginners which takes you into the sea for your first open water dive, in the safety of the El Cabron Marine
Reserve and under the watchful eye of your instructor. No previous diving experience is necessary for this 'try-dive' yet you get to swim with hundreds of fish of all shapes, sizes
and colours, and get to explore a small corner of the amazing El Cabrón marine reserve.

Course Content
We give you a thorough briefing in the classroom, including safety information, information on the marine life you are likely to encounter, then we take you to the
edge of the sea where we practice three key skills. We then take you for a guided underwater tour of the marine reserve! You get about forty minutes in the water, and all the time you
will be looked after by a qualified instructor, with no more than two people per instructor. We will show you the variety of the marine life, the colours and some of the peculiarities of the underwater world.
Skills covered
The course covers all basic skills required to dive safely in the sea under the direct control of an instructor, including breathing, mask clearing, regulator
clearing, and ear equalisation.

We had a brilliant time. We were informed before we went in the water in an excellent fashion and we would recommend this diving school to anyone who wants to have a truly
excellent first dive. The instructors are that good, that when I tried to swim away from them they still managed to catch me.

I have just had an amazing time! I panicked and didn't want to get in! but the instructor was wonderful - so calm and just helped me under and away we went. About 4 times I went
into 'panic' mode and forgot to breathe, got water in my mask and generally went round in circles! But each time he was brilliant!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience 'I
will be back!' Sam & Tash PS my daughter really enjoyed it too!
