What is a discover scuba dive?

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.
