What the day feels like
The day moves at a deliberate pace: arrive at the dive centre to be fitted and meet your guide, travel to the beach (with free parking or transport provided if you need it), receive a safety briefing, and make a 45–60 minute first dive. After a taverna lunch you refill tanks, rebuild gear and make the second dive; back at the centre you wash equipment and can view the photos taken during the day.
