Bautismo Submarino

Embark on a unique underwater adventure with the 'Bautismo Submarino' or Discover Scuba Diving experience offered by Buceo Mantra in Chile. This program is specifically designed for those eager to explore the marine world without the commitment of a full certification course. You will be guided by a professional instructor throughout the entire experience, ensuring a safe and engaging introduction to breathing underwater. The session begins with essential theory covering diving principles and safety protocols, followed by practical exercises in a swimming pool to acclimate you to the equipment and underwater environment.

Following the pool session, a boat transfer will take you to renowned local dive sites such as Isla Locos or Bahía Kon-Tiki. Here, you'll undergo a brief surface adaptation and breathing test before descending to a maximum depth of 12 meters, as per introductory dive standards. The underwater exploration phase lasts approximately 25 to 30 minutes, during which your instructor will maintain constant contact, guiding you through the fascinating marine life and underwater topography. This initial dive provides a genuine taste of the underwater realm.

To further enhance your experience, Buceo Mantra includes a special gift: unedited photo footage of your underwater adventure captured with a GoPro camera. The entire 'Bautismo Submarino' experience typically lasts around 3 hours, making it a perfect half-day activity. Booking in advance is highly recommended due to its popularity.
