Activity description

This three-dive course lets you progress gradually to a depth of 12 m with your instructor. You will learn to use the equipment and some scuba diving basics while enjoying our dive sites, with incredible visibility and rich marine life. With PADI eLearning, you can complete the theory at your own pace before arriving in Algajola.

The dives take place gradually in conditions suited to beginners. Algajola offers a reassuring environment with clear waters and accessible sites. At the end of this course you can obtain a PADI certification recognised worldwide. This course corresponds to the first three dives of the Open Water Diver course, so you can later continue your PADI training and complete your Open Water Diver without starting again from scratch.
