THE INTRO

A fast, guided introduction for beginners

Discover Scuba Diving is built as an easy, rapid first step into diving: you’ll breathe underwater with an instructor and learn what it feels like to explore beneath the waves without taking a full certification course.

THE SETTING

Dives launched from a boat in Menorca’s Marine Reserve

The program is run from a dive boat inside Menorca’s protected marine reserve, giving access to local underwater scenery under the guidance of the Diving Center Fornells team.

THE FORMAT

Three immersions across two days, instructor-led

Across two days you complete three supervised immersions with an instructor; the experience is structured for those who want the sensation of diving without the requirements of a certification course.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The activity unfolds as a compact, instructor-led sequence of dives: briefings and surface preparation aboard a dive boat, followed by short, guided underwater immersions that introduce breathing from scuba gear and basic underwater orientation — all arranged so non‑certified participants can safely explore the reserve.
