If you want to delve into the world of diving to discover the beautiful seabed of the Garraf Coast, we have the ideal plan for you, the PADI Scuba Diver course. You are going to enjoy yourself like never before while you immerse yourself in these beautiful waters that bathe the Catalan town of Sitges and you will learn from scratch without needing absolutely anything. A certification that combines theory with a lot of practice and a lot of dives, and that will only take you 2 days to complete.

Let's start with the important thing, what is the Scuba Diver course? It is the definitive plan if you have tried a baptism of diving or if you like diving and want to take your underwater experiences to the next level. This is so because it is the shortest and simplest way to dive up to a maximum depth of 14 meters, for which, despite its simplicity, you can have an impressive sensation and discover properly the marine life of Sitges and the Garraf Coast.

With a PADI Scuba Diver course you combine theory with practice, predominating the best, practice. In total you receive 3 theoretical classes that you will carry out with the help of audiovisual materials and that with us, will be much more interactive thanks to our divers experts. In this part we will seek to learn the fundamental knowledge and pillars of diving and later, take action and dive with knowledge and safety.

Once you have successfully passed the theoretical sessions, what comes next is a total of 5 dives that are carried out in two blocks. First come the 3 practices in confined waters, that is, in a pool. Here we will train what we learned during the theory and we will do basic exercises that every diver should know; ear decompression as you descend, to empty the mask, sign language to communicate and so on. All this during two sessions that can last between 40 and 60 minutes, and that are key to later, developing freely in the next part.

When we finish the theory and the practices in the pool, then yes, the best thing comes, diving in the beautiful Costa del Garraf , where we will discover some of the most emblematic points for diving in Sitges >. In total there will be 2 dives in the sea and here our objective will not be to learn anything new but to discover. We will immerse ourselves in the serene waters ofSitges in search of an idyllic experience; experience weightlessness, enjoy the beams of light that illuminate the marine world and get to know the beautiful marine fauna and flora that characterizes the Mediterranean so much. To do this, we address some of the following points:

• A small cove sandwiched between Vallcarca and Aiguadolç beach. It is a hidden corner secluded and unknown. Highly visited by fishermen and freedivers and for its solitude and tranquility. Because of its privacy, it is one of our favorite places to dive. Here we will discover a seabed full of pebbles and stones that are home to countless fish and we will also visit the Cueva del Congrio.

• Pan Rossat : This is a unique place on the Garraf Coast for diving because it is one of the few places that have quite a few rocks at the bottom , which causes it to be the perfect place for marine species of all kinds to coexist, such as; threetails, groupers, octopus and endless schools of fish. We will even be able to see crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters and lobsters.

• Los Albets: This is another spectacular and truly unique place, very similar to Pan Rossat, but with a difference, an even richer marine flora. Here the fauna is not so abundant, despite the fact that there are many rocks that facilitate marine life, they are scattered. Even so, this gives rise to the magic of this environment, the marine flora. The separation between the stones makes it easy for us to appreciate huge meadows of posidonias (a type of marine plant) and sponges that filter the surroundings. Regarding the fauna, we will find needle fish, conger eels and moray eels.

A dream experience, right? Well, for this you will not need anything because we will provide all the necessary materials for this PADI Scuba Diver course , you will only need swimwear, towel, change of clothes and materials to take notes of the theoretical classes. We take care of the rest, from the diving team to the most experienced divemasters that you can find all over the Costa del Garraf.

Apart from that, as requirements you only need to be at least 10 years old, know how to swim and go through a medical check-up, the rest is to learn andenjoy.
