Full description
Never dived before? Great, this is your perfect opportunity to start!
Experience 2 and a half hours of unforgettable adventure: you'll board a boat that will comfortably take you to areas with excellent visibility in the surroundings of the Sierra Helada Natural Park. Accompanied by expert guides and marine biologists, you will enjoy a safe, fun and exciting diving baptism. You'll breathe underwater and explore the marine life in an incredible environment, before closing the experience with a delicious picnic and a drink to recharge your batteries.
What we will do
We will meet 30 minutes before the agreed time at the meeting point in the town of Mutxamel, in the province of Alicante, very close to the Sierra Helada Natural Park. There we will meet the guides and marine biologists who will accompany us on this underwater adventure. First we will have a short briefing of about 10 minutes where they will explain us how to use the equipment, the signals underwater and everything we need to feel safe and enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
Afterwards, we'll be kitted out with wetsuit, goggles, fins, tank and regulator... all included! Then we will board an 8.50 metre RIB that will take us comfortably to the dive site. From there, we will enter the water, unhurried, at our own pace. We will submerge gently to a maximum depth of 5 metres, perfect to start and enjoy without pressure.
Once underwater, it will be time to explore for about 40-45 minutes, where we will see: salps, bream, obladas... and hopefully even some octopus snooping among the rocks! We will feel the incredible sensation of breathing under the sea while moving like a fish among the seaweed and rock formations.
When we get out of the water, we'll take off our equipment and have a very interesting final talk. They will tell us curiosities about the species we have seen underwater and talk to us about the importance of conserving the marine fauna and flora of the park. To close the experience we will enjoy a picnic with a drink included, ideal to recharge our batteries.
In total it will be 2 and a half hours of pure fun, discovery and a first dive that you will never forget.
