Try diving in Palma de Mallorca with a certified instructor, no certification or experience needed.
A discover scuba dive is an introductory dive designed for people who have never dived before. You're always accompanied, one-on-one or in very small groups, by a certified instructor who handles the equipment and guides you the whole time. You don't need certification, previous experience, or advanced swimming skills: just the wish to discover the sea. The dive usually lasts 20 to 40 minutes at shallow depth (typically 3 to 6 metres), after a short briefing on the surface.
In Palma de Mallorca you can dive for the first time at spots like Isla del Sec (Clara and Regina Maris wrecks), El Malgrats, Cap de Cala Figuera, Cabrera National Park, always accompanied and at shallow depth.
You don't need to be a strong swimmer, but you should feel comfortable in the water. The instructor controls your buoyancy and stays with you the whole time, so it's enough to not be afraid of the sea.
Most centers accept discover scuba divers from age 8-10, though the exact minimum age depends on the center and the depth of the dive. Check with your chosen center before booking.
