This is your chance to breathe underwater, explore a live coral reef, and find out what scuba diving actually feels like before committing to a full certification course. Learn at a real training facility, professional certified instructors, a full marine life and eco briefing, and groups of no more than four people per instructor — not a rushed experience run out of a truck. All dives are shore entries from the beach — no boat involved and zero risk of motion sickness. You walk in from the sand, which means the experience is more relaxed from the start and accessible to travelers who'd rather skip the boat altogether. You'll dive Tres Palmas Marine Reserve and Black Eagle Beach, two of Rincón's most stunning underwater sites Ability to swim is required. Prior snorkeling experience recommended but not essential.. .
