Set on the sheltered shoreline of Marina St. Jordi in L'Ametlla de Mar, this bautizo de buceo compresses the essentials of scuba into a focused three-hour experience: a concise theoretical introduction, supervised gearing up on the sand, and a guided immersion from the beach with an instructor and full kit provided.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE INTRO

Concise classroom briefing

The experience begins with a short, practical theory session that prepares first-time divers for the sea: basic skills, safety procedures and what to expect during the guided immersion.

THE LAUNCH

Beach entry at Marina St. Jordi

The dive is launched from the beach at Marina St. Jordi, making it an easy, accessible entry for beginners and younger participants while keeping the group close to shore and the instructor.

THE SUPPORT

Instructor-led, full-equipment experience

Participants are accompanied by an instructor and provided with complete diving equipment for the session, so novices can focus on the sensation of the underwater world rather than gear logistics.

What the day feels like

What to Expect Under the Surface

The bautizo distills a first scuba experience into three structured hours: a guided introduction to fundamentals, rigging and checks on the shore, and a supervised beach immersion led by a certified instructor. It’s designed to let participants—from the 10-year-old making their first breath underwater to adults trying scuba for the first time—sample beneath-the-surface life in a controlled, supported way.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this bautizo suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active FamiliesFamilies with children aged 10 and older can share a short, supervised introduction to scuba together, provided younger participants can swim.
2
Beginner DiversIdeal for first-timers seeking a guided, low-commitment taste of scuba, since the session includes a beginner-focused theory segment and an accompanying instructor.
3
Non-swimmersNot suitable: the activity requires participants to know how to swim, so non-swimmers should opt for alternative water experiences.
4
Teens & Young AdventurersA compact, supervised dive that fits well for teenagers (10+) who meet the swim requirement and want an introductory underwater experience.
