What the day feels like

What Bautizo Simple Feels Like

The program condenses a first dive into a single, supervised outing: preparation on shore at Muelle Deportivo, a controlled introduction beneath the surface where participants experience breathing underwater and basic buoyancy under instructor supervision, then a return to the marina. It’s structured to be safe, manageable and memorable for those who want to try diving without enrolling in a complete certification course.
