Battesimo del Mare

Centro Immersioni Acitrezza offers the "Battesimo del Mare" (Discover Scuba Diving) experience, an ideal introduction for adults and children aged 9 and above who are in good physical condition and curious about the underwater world. This program is designed to provide fundamental knowledge of scuba equipment, a comfortable pre-dive acclimatization, and the excitement of exploring the seabed under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor. The session begins with a thorough explanation of the gear, followed by a pre-immersion briefing to ensure all procedures are understood. Participants will also receive an introduction to the local Mediterranean fauna and flora, enhancing their appreciation for the marine life they may encounter. The acclimatization phase is crucial for getting comfortable with breathing underwater and managing the equipment in a controlled environment.

The highlight of the "Battesimo del Mare" is the actual dive, conducted to a maximum depth of 8 meters. This controlled depth ensures a safe yet engaging exploration of the underwater environment, allowing participants to witness various marine species such as sea urchins, starfish, and small fish in their natural habitat. The instructor remains with the participant throughout the dive, guaranteeing a memorable and secure experience. This introductory dive is perfect for those who want to try scuba diving without committing to a full certification course, offering a sense of accomplishment and a newfound appreciation for the ocean's wonders. Upon completion, a "Battesimo del Mare" certificate is awarded, marking the first step into the world of diving.

Furthermore, DAN insurance coverage is provided for all participants, adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind for your underwater adventure.

It is a perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of breathing underwater and exploring a new world. The program is structured to build confidence and comfort, making the transition to the underwater environment as smooth as possible.
