Full description
A Barcelona you've never seen before, the one hidden at the bottom of the sea!
Immerse yourself in a magical experience and discover the Mediterranean as you've never imagined. Experience your first dive in Barcelona's Fòrum, accompanied by a professional instructor, in a safe, peaceful environment full of marine life.
During this adventure of approximately 2 hours, you'll take away much more than just memories: you'll feel the thrill of breathing underwater and you'll explore up to 5 metres deep.
What we will do
The meeting point in Barcelona, in the Fòrum area, will be 10 minutes before the indicated time.
Upon arrival, we will be met by our instructor, who will accompany us throughout the experience and give us the necessary equipment for the activity. We'll start with a 15-minute theoretical briefing, where we'll learn the basic safety rules, how to communicate underwater and how the diving equipment works.
Afterwards, we will go to the changing rooms to put on our wetsuits, assemble the equipment with the help of the instructor and head together to the dive site. Once in the water, we will practice breathing with the regulator and do some simple exercises to familiarise ourselves with the environment. When we feel comfortable, we will do the guided dive, each accompanied by our own instructor.
We will descend to a maximum depth of 5 metres, where we will spend approximately 40 minutes exploring the seabed and observing species such as sea bream, bream, salps and octopus, depending on the season.
At the end of the dive, we will return to the dive centre to return the equipment, shower and change in peace and quiet. The total duration of the experience will be about 2 hours.
