Activity Details
Having picked you up from your hotel in Sal Island, we'll make our way to the dive center and its open-air pool. Kitted out in a wetsuit and with fins, mouthpieces, tanks, and goggles, we'll begin to learn the basics of scuba diving with an hour-long introductory lesson
So you're fueled up for this underwater adventure, we'll take you back to your hotel, where you'll have two free hours to eat a strong meal and rest up. In the afternoon, we'll be back to pick you up and head over to the island pier.
Once we've got all our scuba gear on and fastened correctly, we'll make our way to the coast, hoping to view as many marine species as possible along the way.
