The experience

What do you need to know before booking a scuba lesson for the first time? The dive happens in Green Bay, Protaras: shallow, clear water where visibility is good and the seafloor is close enough that panic has nowhere to hide. Your instructor walks you through the safety briefing on land, then you practice in the shallows until the equipment feels normal and your breathing settles. Only after that do you go deeper, and only your booking group is in the water with you. No strangers, no crowded boat, no waiting for a mixed group to assemble.

The dive itself lasts around three hours from pickup to return. You'll see Mediterranean fish moving through the water, underwater statues placed on the seafloor, and if the day is lucky, sea turtles. Your instructor stays with you the whole time, watching your air consumption and your comfort. All the scuba gear (tank, wetsuit, weights, regulator) comes with the booking. So does hotel pickup from Protaras or Pernera, bottled water, tea or coffee, and the underwater photos and videos the instructor captures while you're down there.

The guide speaks English, French or Dutch, and children from age 10 can join. You don't need to have dived before, and the operator says the experience suits all fitness levels. Bring a swimsuit and a towel. Everything else is arranged.
