Description

Context The diving baptism in Alcossebre combines the safety of a pool with the authentic experience of the Mediterranean Sea. The Puerto Deportivo Las Fuentes serves as the departure point for access to a protected marine environment where visibility exceeds 10 meters and maximum depth reaches 5 meters—perfect for beginners. The wind carries the scent of salt and seaweed.

The Experience You begin with one hour in the pool, learning to breathe using the regulator and handling basic diving equipment. Then, a 15-minute boat transfer takes you to the dive site, where you descend under the guidance of certified instructors. Underwater, the sensation of weightlessness and the quiet, broken only by your own breathing, connects you with the rich Mediterranean marine life unfolding before your eyes.
