Description

Discover Scuba Diving: Safe and Easy Introductory Dive in Crystal-Clear Caribbean Waters

Arrive at Marina Maroma and check in for your diving experience. After signing the necessary waivers and receiving your identification bracelet, meet your certified instructor, who will guide you through the day’s itinerary. You’ll get an introduction to the diving equipment, including the air tank, regulator, mask, and buoyancy control device.

Begin your training with a 75-minute theoretical class covering essential scuba diving principles. Learn about safety procedures, breathing techniques, underwater communication signals, and how to handle the equipment properly. Your instructor will also explain how to manage pressure changes and move efficiently underwater, ensuring you are fully prepared for the next steps.


Beginner Scuba Diving Lesson: Learn, Practice, and Dive in the Caribbean Sea

Once the classroom session is complete, board a boat and travel to a shallow-water practice site. At this location, you’ll descend to a maximum depth of three meters, where you will take your first breaths using the regulator. This confined water session allows you to adapt to the gear and practice basic skills in a controlled environment.

After gaining confidence in shallow waters, continue to an open-water dive site, either Alba or Motor, depending on weather conditions. Here, you’ll explore vibrant coral reefs and observe tropical marine life during a 25- to 30-minute dive. The duration of your dive depends on your breathing efficiency, giving you time to enjoy the experience at your own pace.

Spot schools of colorful fish, admire coral formations, and experience the tranquility of being submerged in crystal-clear waters. Your instructor will be by your side, ensuring a safe and comfortable dive.

Return to Marina Maroma after completing your dive. Your instructor will assist you with equipment removal and answer any questions you may have.
