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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
