What To Expect

Discover the Adriatic with this beginner-friendly Try Scuba Diving experience. No previous diving experience is required.

Your experience begins with a clear safety briefing and an introduction to the scuba diving equipment. Your instructor will help you become comfortable breathing underwater and practise a few simple skills before guiding you on your first sea dive.

The dive reaches a maximum depth of 6 metres, allowing you to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness and observe Mediterranean marine life in a safe and relaxed environment.

We keep our groups small so every participant receives personal attention and can progress at a comfortable pace. All necessary scuba diving equipment is included, and underwater photos and videos are provided as a memory of your first diving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Try Scuba Diving in Split: Small-Group Experience for Beginners cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
