What to expect

The course is composed of 4 open water dives, during which you will learn how to use the reel, how to behave inside the cavern, the signals used when you are in the darkness and you have the torch, the correct buoyancy, trim and swimming techniques, not to lift silt or to brake anything, and last but not least the safety procedures in case of problems once inside the cavern.

The meeting point is always the dive center, where you will prepare your equipment. we will drive then to he harbor, where we will load the boat and we will head to the dive spot.

During the navigation our instructors will make a wide briefing, explaining in details every exercise that will be done underwater.

Once on the first site our crew will help you to dress up, if needed, while your instructor will be already into the water, waiting for you.

The first step is to make a "bubble check", being sure that every equipment is working perfectly, and there are no leaks. After that, you will descend underwater and will do all the exercises described during the briefing, and showed by the instructor underwater. Then you will enter into the cavern, with the instructor with you, controlling that everything is safe.

The second dive is a "line training" out of the cave, while during the third and fourth dive the student will practice setting up the safety line.

After the dives the boat will go back to the harbor, and then we'll go back to the shop to do the de-briefing.
