Diving in Sicily: What’s about?
Diving or scuba diving is a sport created to observe the underwater environment and peacefully enjoy the silence and the wonders that lie beneath it. More and more people are embarking on this experience to try the thrill of a deep dive, see how light behaves at certain depths and meet fish and other forms of marine life.
What does an immersion consist of?
Each dive, after having been previously planned, is carried out with maximum safety and with the appropriate equipment which is always checked before entering the water by the instructors. In fact, before carrying out the dive, all participants are given an instructional briefing with all the information to follow regarding the time spent under water and the depth to be reached. Furthermore, the methods of entering and exiting the water, the signals for underwater communication and the safety and emergency management procedures are illustrated.
Diving Sicily: Is it a sport suitable for everyone?
Sure! Diving does not require particular athletic performances. The performance required of participants is such that with minimal practical training excellent results can be achieved with peace of mind and fun. And practicing underwater activities only requires a general good state of psycho-physical health.
