Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior experience to go diving?

No, you don’t need any previous experience. I offer programs specifically designed for beginners, where you’ll learn the basics and enjoy your first dive in a safe and controlled environment.

Is diving safe for beginners?

Yes, diving is safe as long as you follow the instructor’s guidance and use the equipment properly. I’m fully trained to ensure your safety at all times.

How long does a beginner dive session last?

A typical beginner session lasts about 2 to 3 hours, including the briefing, gear preparation, and the actual dive.

What gear do I need to go diving?

I provide all the necessary equipment, including wetsuit, mask, fins, regulator, and buoyancy control device. You just need to bring a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen.

Can I dive if I’m not a good swimmer?

It’s helpful to have basic swimming skills to feel more comfortable in the water, but it’s not absolutely necessary. I’ll adapt to your comfort level and make sure you have a great experience.

What does it feel like to breathe underwater?

It might feel a bit strange at first, but you’ll get used to it quickly. We use a regulator that lets you breathe normally while underwater.

How long can I stay underwater?

For beginner dives, you’ll usually be underwater for about 50 to 60 minutes, depending on factors like air consumption and how comfortable you feel.

Is there a risk of encountering dangerous animals?

The waters around Mallorca are generally very safe, and the local marine life doesn’t pose a danger to divers. We always follow safety protocols to minimize any risks.

What should I do if I feel uncomfortable underwater?

If you ever feel uneasy, signal me right away using the hand signs you’ll learn before the dive. We’ll slowly ascend to the surface, and I’ll help you sort out whatever’s going on.

Can I dive if I have health issues?

That depends on the type and severity of your condition. If you have asthma, heart problems, or any other medical concerns, it’s important to check with a doctor before diving. I can help guide you on whether it’s safe to dive after a medical consultation.

Alejandro is a fantastic instructor. I had never been diving before and, although I was a bit nervous about the sea, I was really excited to try the experience. He stayed by my side the whole time and made me feel completely safe. It was an amazing experience. I definitely recommend it and I’ll be doing it again!
