    Development of the activity:

    Try dives are always done along the Montgrí coast, about 15 minutes away by boat from the harbour (Salinas or Negre del Falaguer). We always ask our clients to meet us at the dive centre to watch a 15-minute-long tutorial video (available in several languages). Then we prepare the diving equipment and go to the boat. On board, the instructors will answer all the questions you may have! They will also help you prepare for your try dive.

    Our instructors always go one by one with a try diver in the water for a duration of about 20 minutes. The maximum depth you will go is approximately 6 meters. You will be able to discover numerous marine species, for example: Octopuses, Moray eels and many more!
