Description
Do you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t sure if it’s for you? The Discover Scuba Diving Contadora Island experience is perfect if you have any doubts about how you might feel underwater. Or perhaps you’d like to dive, but don’t have enough time to complete a full certification course? If you can set aside three days during your stay on the island, it is possible to earn your scuba diving certification on Contadora.
Discover Scuba Diving Contadora requires no previous experience; you simply need to be in good physical condition and know how to swim. Before entering the water, you will receive training on the fundamentals of scuba diving, including how to use the equipment and how to communicate underwater using hand signals. This dive can take place either from the shore or from a boat. Your divemaster will take you to a calm, shallow area, where you will dive to a maximum depth of 25 feet (approximately 7.5 meters). Please note that this activity does not result in a scuba diving certification. If you are already certified, you should book the scuba diving on Contadora instead.
This area is home to a wide diversity of fish species that you can observe during your dive. The Pacific Ocean offers a richer variety of marine life compared to the Caribbean Sea. You might encounter angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, pufferfish, lizardfish, rainbow wrasse, Moorish idols, sergeant majors, trumpetfish, groupers, and many other species.
