Tossa de Mar: PADI Discovery Scuba Diving

4. Tossa de Mar: PADI Discovery Scuba Diving

The "try dive" is an activity recommended for beginners in scuba. The entire experience lasts three hours, the first 35 minutes of which will consist of a briefing on how the equipment works, how to communicate underwater using hand signals, and how the tour will go. Afterwards, get kitted out in the provided wetsuit and boots in the changing room. Once you are ready, hop in the van for just five minutes and prepare for the fun to start. Because the dive site is directly connected with the beach, you'll be enjoying a shore dive off Mar Menuda Beach.  When you get to the water, your guide will break up the activity step by step, and you'll have plenty of time to get used to each one at your own pace. Starting from the beach makes everything easier, especially for your ears as you'll have more time to get used to the pressure. Stay under the water for about an hour — this, of course, depends on you, because the more nervous you are, the faster you breathe, and the quicker you'll go through the air in your tank. During the dive, your guides will snap some photos/videos, so you will have a souvenir from the activity. You must arrive 15 minutes before the starting time of the activity. Anyone arriving after the starting time will not be allowed to participate and no refunds or rescheduling will be made due to late arrival. Upon arrival you will fill out a medical form. If your answers to the medical questionnaire states that you need a medical permission you won’t be allowed to carry out the activity. To carry out the activity you must be in good health condition, and not be taking any medications prescribed by a doctor. If the activity is denied due to a health issue, the money will not be returned nor will another appointment will be made.

Great tour for those who don't have much time to travel. Although the departure was on a full bus, the groups were divided between guides so that it was possible to enjoy the place. At each stop you had free time to explore the city. The itinerary was completed on time and the structure of the bus was very good. Thanks to the driver (Ruben) and guides Isabel and Roger for the day!

The day was excellent! Good choice of three places to visit in a day. My guide Jimena was so nice and lovely. She was patient and very clear in making us understand the history behind every place we visited. She also personally suggested many things that could be done in our free time. I loved the trip and loved the way it was organised. Kudos to the tour !

This was an excellent tour. I went on the tour with my husband and our 8 yr old. Mark our tour guide was so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. Blanes is incredibly beautiful, especially the Botanical gardens and the lunch was great. Tossa de Mar was also lovely. Highly recommended.

It’s a good itinerary. Girona was super and the Mato at Monserrat was simply awesome. Should try having a little more time in Costa Brava.

Great tour, both guides were excellent. 100% worth every penny.
