Trial Diving
Never dived before? That's exactly who this is for. No certification needed -- just bring your curiosity.

From arrival to your first breath underwater
The night before, we'll email your group leader with the meeting time, location, and a quick packing reminder. You'll make your own way to the dive point -- no car? Grab a rental ahead of time.
Quick paperwork, then a relaxed land briefing. We'll walk you through breathing, ear equalization, and safety basics -- simple enough for a 10-year-old to follow.
Duration: approx. 30 min
Wetsuit on, let's go! Don't worry about the heavy tank -- it's practically weightless once you're in the water. Our staff gear you up in the shallows, so there's nothing to stress about.
Duration: approx. 20 min
We ease into the shallows and practice the essentials. Your first breath through a regulator is a wild feeling -- slow, deep breaths are all it takes.
Duration: approx. 10 min
This is the moment. Colorful fish, curious sea creatures, and the weightless silence of another world. Summer visibility regularly tops 20 meters -- sunlight rippling across the sandy bottom is something you have to see to believe.
Duration: approx. 30 min
Rinse off, change, and relive the highlights. Showers, changing rooms, and restrooms are all on-site. Oh, and every underwater photo we took? Yours to keep -- on the house.
Reserve by phone or email.
