Introductory dives include close instructor support and are designed for first-time scuba participants. ### How long does the dive session last? The booked activity includes around 3 hours from briefing to equipment return, with dive time at selected coastal sites during the session. Allow the full duration from arrival at the meeting point, as equipment fitting, briefing and travel to the dive site are included in the overall schedule. ### Is there a minimum age? Yes, participants must be at least 8 years old to join a scuba diving session. This minimum reflects equipment sizing and the physical demands of diving with full scuba kit. All minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult on the day. Medical fitness requirements for scuba diving apply to all participants regardless of age. ### Why is a passport required? A valid passport or government-issued photo ID must be carried and shown when requested by the operator or local authorities. This is a standard requirement for water activities in the area. Keep your passport in a waterproof pouch if you bring it to the meeting point. A photocopy may not be accepted, so bring the original document. ### Where is the meeting point?

Parking and local transport options vary, so plan accordingly. ### Is the activity weather dependent? Yes, scuba diving depends on calm seas, good visibility and safe water conditions. Sessions may be rescheduled or cancelled if weather makes diving unsafe or visibility poor.

Yes, groups from 1 to 5 participants can be accommodated on this guided dive session. Each person books individually through the platform. For larger groups or special arrangements, contact the operator after booking to confirm guide numbers and site selection.

Bring your passport in a waterproof pouch and a reusable water bottle. Personal dive computers and masks are optional if you prefer your own kit. ### What marine life might I see?
