BAUTIZO

The baptism dive at Merak Diving is a single boat dive to a maximum of 6 m, always supervised one-on-one by a qualified instructor. The typical site for these introductory dives is La Mola or La Mola Nord, both just minutes from the Mahón base — protected sandy-bottom sites with stingrays and the occasional octopus, calm enough to focus entirely on getting comfortable with the equipment.

The session covers basic gear familiarisation and the first principles of buoyancy, all in shallow water where the instructor maintains direct control throughout. No prior experience is required and no theory exam is involved. It's a single-session activity, not a course with homework or follow-up.

Minimum age is 8 years. The price is 95€ and includes the boat, equipment and instructor supervision. If you want to continue after the baptism, the Basic Diver programme picks up from this point and adds a second dive to 12 m plus a short theory component.
