SPECIAL: Shark week

Shark week

During this week we offer a series of workshops where you learn a lot about sharks. Not only how to dive with them, but how they eat and mate, how to recognize different species, the history and how they are threatened to extinction. Plus we will seek the best spots to go diving with them.
