Beginner Scuba Diving
Beginner Scuba Diving
After meeting at the scheduled time at the Julio Izurieta boardwalk, we'll go to the port to hop on a boat and start this diving activity in Puerto Lopez. Here we go!
During the experience, we'll do two dives in the crystal clear waters of Puerto Lopez. But before plunging into the water, we'll first do a safety talk and go over the basics of diving. 45 minutes later, you'll be ready to start the two dives, which will last around 30 to 45 minutes.
After a total of four hours, we'll return to the meeting point in Puerto Lopez.
8-Hour Experience
Do you want to complete your experience? If you opt for the 8-hour tour, we'll do our dives near the legendary Ayampe beach. Did you know that it's one of the best places in Ecuador for diving?
Upon arrival, we'll board a boat and head for Los Ahorcados islet. We'll likewise do a safety intro and go over basic diving techniques. We'll then do two dives lasting 30 to 45 minutes while we explore the impressive seabed off the Ecuadorian coast.
Before finishing, we'll have a picnic lunch to regain strength. Finally, we'll leave you at the starting point in Puerto Lopez after a total of 8 hours.
