Don't miss this incredible experience a stone's throw from Lecce, in one of the most beautiful corners of Puglia.

What we will do
The appointment is at 2.30 pm in Porto Cesareo, in the province of Lecce. Here we will be welcomed by the Padi instructor who will introduce us to the world of scuba diving, making us live an unforgettable experience.

Before diving into the water we will have an introductory lesson. We will be explained the basic rules to follow when diving, the safety rules to respect and how to use the equipment correctly. We will also learn some basic diving skills, such as how to put on and take off your mask underwater and how to share oxygen with another person.

After the theoretical lesson, reach the diving point, in the protected marine area of Porto Cesareo. After donning the diving equipment (included in the fee), we will immerse ourselves in the sea for 30 minutes at a maximum depth of 8 meters.

During this time we will experience new emotions, we will feel light, free to explore a colorful underwater world, rich in plants and many species of fish.

The return to the dive is scheduled for 4.30/5pm. Here we will be given a certification at the end of the experience. In fact, the lesson will be recorded by Padi as the first dive valid for the actual Open Water Diver course.

The experience has a total duration of 2 hours.

Who is it aimed at?
The activity is suitable for everyone over 10 years old.

No type of license is required, the only necessary requirements are knowing how to swim and being in good health.

More information
The activity takes place from May to mid-October, on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 2.30 pm, depending on the weather conditions.

The lesson is valid as the first dive for the actual Open Water Diver course.

It is strongly discouraged to practice scuba diving 24 hours before an airplane flight, as, due to the lower atmospheric pressure present on board the airplane, the nitrogen, which may have remained in the body, could form bubbles inside the tissues that can obstruct blood flow.
