You’ll leave from the diving school in Miraflores on a 1-hour drive to Pucusana, a fishing village right outside of Lima. Once you arrive at the beach, you can visit the changing room to suit up for your diving lesson. Then, you’ll hop on a 12-person boat and take a 20-minute ride to the dive site.

Your experience begins with an overview of the equipment. After that, you’ll hop in the water to practice the basic moves. Once you feel comfortable, you can start practicing diving up to a depth of 32 feet (10 m). Before you return, you’ll have a picnic of sandwiches, fruit, and cookies on the boat. Then, you’ll head back to shore to change and begin your return journey.
