The crystal-clear waters off the coast of Nerja and Maro offer exceptional visibility, ideal for enjoying your first underwater experience. You may spot seagrass meadows, colourful fish, octopuses and, with a bit of luck, seahorses.
All the diving centres in the area have PADI or SSI-certified instructors who guarantee a safe and memorable experience. All equipment (wetsuit, regulator, BCD, tank) is included in the price.
