Sant Pol: Your Gateway to Water Fun on the Costa Brava
June 12, 2024Have you ever dreamt of exploring the underwater world, but felt a bit intimidated by the idea of scuba diving? Well, fear not! My recent experience with Dive Paradis on the Costa Brava completely changed my perspective. Dive Paradis offers an incredible ‘’Try Dive’’ experience that’s perfect for curious beginners like myself.
Let me tell you about my incredible first Try Dive and why Dive Paradis should be your go-to for an unforgettable underwater adventure if you’re in the Costa Brava.
Dive Paradis, established in 1997, isn't just another dive center; it's a haven for both seasoned divers and complete beginners like myself. Located in the heart of l'Escala, Costa Brava, their friendly and professional instructors create a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Their modern facilities are spacious and well-equipped, ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish.
Taking the First Dip: My Try Dive Experience
The Try Dive program at Dive Paradis is the perfect introduction for anyone curious about the underwater world. It's a fun and safe way to experience the magic of diving with an instructor by your side at all times. Roger was fantastic! He carefully explained everything beforehand, making sure I understood the equipment and the process. He double-checked everything to ensure my safety and comfort, which really put me at ease.
The whole experience is incredibly well-organized. We set sail on The Gat Blau for a scenic half-hour journey to a designated dive spot with depths perfect for beginners. Before entering the water, Carsten (the captain) provided a final briefing in Dutch, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect.
Then, the moment of truth arrived! With Roger by my side, I descended into the crystal-clear waters of the Costa Brava. It was an absolute dream come true. The vibrant marine life, the feeling of weightlessness, and the silence of the underwater world were unlike anything I've ever experienced. Roger pointed out all the fascinating creatures, making sure I didn't miss a single wonder.
The Perfect Introduction to Scuba Diving
The entire Try Dive with Dive Paradis took about two and a half hours, including the boat trip and the briefing. It's the perfect amount of time to get a taste of diving without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, it's offered daily at 3:00 PM, making it easy to fit into your vacation schedule.
Here are some key takeaways to make your Dive Paradis Try Dive experience as smooth as mine:
- Booking: Book your Try Dive 1-2 days in advance to secure your spot.
