Explore the magnificent, colourful sea beds of San Andrés with this beginner's scuba diving activity at the San Andrés Barrier Reef.

Beginners Scuba Diving

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in San Andrés and head to the diving school, where we'll meet the certified instructors who will be guiding you during the activity.

After filling in some questionnaires, you'll receive about 30 minutes of training on how to use scuba diving equipment and techniques. Then, you'll experience the incredible sensation of diving in the Caribbean waters. Accompanied by the instructor, you'll explore a whole new world full of colour and life: fish, corals, starfish... An unforgettable experience for your first-time scuba diving!

You'll be accompanied by a monitor so you can dive safely and explore the rich seabed of the San Andrés reef, the third-largest barrier reef in the world. The maximum depth of the one dive we'll be doing be 12 metres (nearly 40 feet).

After 40 minutes of diving, we'll take you back to your hotel, arriving 3 hours after departure.
