Mallorca’s shoreline is a gentle place to try breathing underwater for the first time. You start close to shore, learn the basics with an instructor beside you, and only go farther once you feel ready. I like the private limit of two participants per instructor, and the chance to take home GoPro photos and video rather than relying on your memory alone.

There are two details I would settle before paying: the final cost is unclear, and the stated maximum depth differs between the tour information. The headline price is not the full price, so confirm the equipment, insurance and guide charges, as well as the depth planned for your session.

  • Private instruction: Your group is limited to two people with one instructor, rather than sharing the session with strangers.
  • A cautious start: You begin in shallow water, getting used to breathing and the equipment before heading farther out.
  • Alex and Jose: Both are named as instructors, with 13 years of teaching experience and thousands of underwater sessions between them.
  • GoPro keepsakes: An assistant takes photos and video with a GoPro Hero 10, included as part of the stated package.
  • Wildlife possibilities: Look for fish, cuttlefish, octopus, moray eels and other marine life, though sightings can never be guaranteed.
  • Confirm the real price and depth: The fee details conflict, as do the stated maximum depths of five and six meters.

A first underwater session near Palma

Mallorca PRIVATE Reservation<em>Scuba dive + photo/video – A first underwater session near Palma’ /></p>
<p><p>This is built for newcomers, not certified scuba participants seeking a long or technical excursion. The appeal is the small scale: one instructor works with no more than two people, and the session begins from shore rather than requiring you to enter the water from a boat. That can make the first few minutes feel more manageable, especially if the idea of breathing through equipment underwater makes you nervous.</p>
</p>
<p><p>The experience is run by IKIGAI SCUBA, a PADI 5 Star Dive Center based in Palma. The meeting point listed for the activity is Carrer Andreu Ferret, 1, in Bendinat, and the actual shore locations are described as about a 15-minute drive from Palma city. Check the precise meeting and transfer arrangements before setting out, since private transportation is not included.</p>
</p>
<p><p>Alex and Jose are the two instructors named for the experience. The operator describes them as having 13 years of teaching experience and thousands of sessions in the water. That matters for a first-timer: a calm instructor who can read your comfort level and give clear, simple directions is more useful than a long lecture on technical details.</p>
