Go beyond a single introductory dive with two supervised Discover Scuba dives in one day off Cabo de Palos. Your first dive introduces skills at six metres; the second takes you to twelve metres for a fuller taste of Mediterranean reef life.
Morning begins with kit fitting, briefing and shallow skills at our Los Belones school before your first open-water dive to six metres on local reef. Your instructor stays beside you throughout, adjusting pace and checking comfort signals while you build confidence breathing underwater.
After a surface interval you kit up again for a second dive to twelve metres where descent rate is controlled and fish are often more active around deeper reef edges. Two dives in one day give a much clearer sense of what recreational scuba feels like before committing to multi-day training.
The marine reserve off Cabo de Palos is one of the east coast's best training areas, with posidonia meadows, rocky reef and reliable visibility on settled days. Both dives use sites chosen daily for beginner-friendly conditions.
Los Belones puts you within easy reach of harbour cafes and coastal walks. Murcia and Cartagena are both practical bases for a diving day on this stretch of coast.
Minimum age is 10 and you should swim confidently in open water. No prior scuba certification is required for this double introductory programme, and we'll teach every skill from scratch before your first immersion.
Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian present on the day. Tell your instructor about any concerns at the briefing so we can adjust pace or depth on either dive to help you feel secure throughout the programme.
This format is ideal when one Discover Scuba dive leaves you wanting more. The same patient PADI team and small groups support you through both immersions in familiar Cabo de Palos water.
We consolidate skills on dive one so dive two feels smoother and more immersive. Many guests say the twelve-metre second dive is the moment they know they want to keep diving, and our instructors are ready to guide your next step when you surface.
Kit fitting and safety briefing at the Los Belones school, then shallow-water practice of regulator use, mask skills and buoyancy before the first open-water dive.
Skills are consolidated early so the second dive feels smoother and you spend less time repeating basics between immersions.
Your introduction dive follows a gentle route on local reef within the six-metre limit for Discover Scuba programmes under direct instructor supervision.
The instructor stays beside you, adjusting pace and checking comfort signals throughout the first immersion of the day.
After a surface interval you descend to twelve metres on a second guided dive with new terrain and often more active fish around deeper reef edges.
Finishing two depths in one day gives a fuller taste of recreational scuba in clear Mediterranean water.
You complete two open-water dives instead of one, with the second reaching twelve metres rather than stopping at the standard six-metre Discover Scuba limit on the first dive.
That extra depth and dive time gives a fuller picture of what recreational scuba feels like in clear Cabo de Palos water.
No certification is required beforehand. Basic skills are taught on the day before the first dive, and your instructor refreshes technique during the surface interval before the deeper second dive.
If you have tried scuba before, you will recognise the skills quickly and can focus more on enjoying the second dive at twelve metres.
Six metres is the standard introduction limit on dive one. Twelve metres on dive two lets you explore slightly deeper reef within programme rules while your instructor controls descent rate and monitors you throughout.
Both depths are chosen to keep the day safe for beginners while still offering a noticeable step up in immersion on the second dive of the day.
A surface interval with briefing separates the two dives so comfort and rest are respected between immersions. Use the break to hydrate, warm up in the sun and ask questions before kitting up again.
Your instructor reviews anything that felt tricky on dive one so dive two starts from a confident base rather than rushing straight back into the water.
Full scuba kit, both dives, instructor time and activity cover for the session are included. Food, drinks and transport to the meeting point at c/ Isaac Peral, 28, Los Belones are not included.
Bring snacks and water for the surface interval between dives, plus swimwear, a towel and sun protection for before and after the day programme.
One to six participants, matching our other local dive activities. An extra instructor joins when ratios require it on busier training days.
Get in touch before your visit if you are fewer than four people to see whether another group on the same date has space for you to join.
From age ten with a parent or guardian present for anyone under eighteen. Youth depth rules apply under PADI guidance throughout both dives on the day.
Young divers receive the same close supervision as adults, with pace adjusted on skills and both open-water immersions to match their confidence in the water.
All training starts at our dive school at c/ Isaac Peral, 28, Los Belones, Murcia 30385. Open-water sites are chosen daily for conditions around Cabo de Palos.
Transport to the school is not included. Most guests drive from Cabo de Palos village, La Manga, Cartagena or Murcia city for the full day programme.
You should be comfortable swimming in open water with fins. Tell your instructor about any concerns at the briefing so we can adjust pace, depth or technique to help you feel secure throughout both dives.
There is no pressure to swim long distances. Surface breaks and shallow routes are normal whenever someone needs them.
Typical sightings include seabream, wrasse, octopus and cuttlefish among rocky reef and posidonia beds, often more active around deeper reef edges on the twelve-metre dive.
Wildlife varies by season and conditions. Your instructor knows local sites and chooses routes on both dives that give you the best chance of active marine life throughout the day.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
