The Try Dive is an introductory scuba diving experience off Mar Menuda Beach, ideal for beginners seeking professional guidance and easy beach entry.

Highlights

  • Explore Costa Brava's underwater world with a beginner-friendly dive.

Description

The Try Dive lasts approximately 2.5 hours, beginning with a 40-minute briefing that covers scuba equipment use, underwater hand signals, and the dive plan.

After briefing, participants change into wetsuits and boots before a 10-minute van ride to the shore dive site at Mar Menuda Beach.

The dive is conducted in gradual, manageable steps to help participants acclimate at their own pace. Entering from the beach allows a gentle descent, which helps with ear pressure adjustment.

The underwater portion lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on individual air consumption. Guides capture photos and video during the dive to provide a keepsake.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Late arrivals cannot join, and refunds or rescheduling will not be offered.

Participants must be in good health, free from medical conditions requiring prescription medication to participate.
