Discover Scuba Diving

Discover Scuba Diving the in-depth scuba class will ensure you’re fully prepared for your first underwater adventure. After you and your instructor kit up in your scuba gear, you’ll have the chance to dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet. This is a great way to learn how to scuba dive on the Costa Blanca and can be done in just one day!

As soon as you Discover Scuba, you’re on your way to an internationally recognised certification. That’s because you may learn skills from the PADI Open Water Diver course during your Discover Scuba adventure. If you and your instructor elect to practice these skills, they may be credited to the PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certifications.

What does all that mean? Go diving, practice some skills with your instructor, and get a head start on your PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification!

To take part in PADI Discover Scuba Diving, you must be at least 10 years old and must complete the Discover Scuba Statement (which includes a brief medical questionnaire). With PADI Discover Scuba Diving, you discover excitement and adventure, freedom and serenity. Nothing compares to the “weightless” exhilaration of breathing underwater and moving around in inner space. Only a diver knows the feeling!

Peak performance

Peak Performance Buoyancy €140

What is neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level.
