What is Try Dives?

Try Dives is the first contact with the world of scuba diving, with no need of previous experience or technical knowledge. It is an activity designed for you to enjoy, without pressure, with all the necessary equipment and always accompanied by an instructor.

It is like opening a window to another planet: the seabed, the feeling of weightlessness, the fish swimming nearby…. You experience all that from the first minute, and in total safety.

What does Try Dives in Santa Pola consist of?

At Dive Academy we make it easy and fun. Try Dives start with a brief theoretical explanation where we tell you just what you need to know: how to breathe, how to move and how to communicate underwater.

How long does Try Dives last?

The complete Try Dives usually last between 2 and 2.5 hours, counting the previous talk, the preparation, the entry into the water and the dive.

The underwater part usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on each person and how they feel. We always adapt it to you.

What does Try Dives include?

Theoretical class

Before jumping into the water, you will have a short talk with your instructor where we will explain the basics: how to use the equipment, how to breathe underwater and how to move calmly. Nothing technical or boring, just the essentials for you to dive with confidence and safety.

Open water dive with instructor

Yes, it is not just one, but two full dives. The first one will be to familiarize yourself with the environment and the equipment, and the second one… to really enjoy yourself! Always accompanied by an instructor who will be with you at all times, at your pace and taking care of every detail.

Diving equipment

You don’t need to bring anything more than your swimsuit and the desire to have fun. We provide you with all the necessary equipment: wetsuit, mask, fins, vest, regulator and bottle. Everything is in perfect condition and adapted to you.

The customer undertakes to cover the costs in case of damage, loss or breakage of the material.

Activity insurance

Safety comes first, so we include dive insurance for the day, so you don’t have to worry about anything. You just think about breathing… and enjoying the seabed.
