Profile from the immersion in the Canyons
Diving with a depth maximum of 16 meters lasting about 60 minutes. Diving in an area with current, so it is very important to go at the same depth as the guide to avoid it.
Good buoyancy control is essential. Long-distance diving, at the beginning of the dive you navigate at a depth of 5 meters for 7 minutes and then make a controlled descent without reference. At the end of the dive, the safety stop is made while sailing.
Mandatory use of buoy: It is mandatory to enter and exit at the designated entrance to avoid possible problems with motor vehicles and in the event of having to make an emergency ascent in another place, always throw a signaling buoy before ascending to the surface.
Mandatory use of cable cutters or knives: In this area, non-professional fishing with a “gun-forbidden” rod is permitted, so it is necessary to have a line cutter in case of accidental entanglement with a fishing line.
