Yes you can! Lola just came back from Madeira where she had her first proper open ocean dive. She says:
I qualified in Malta. I always wanted to dive but I was not a natural in the water and not being able to breathe through my nose scared me. It took me 3 long weeks to get my qualification and I had to work very hard.
Then due to family commitments I couldn’t go on holiday for over a year and some of the fears that I thought I conquered came back.
When my friend invited me to go diving with her in Madeira I was, of course, excited but also scared. I had nightmares about being lost in the deep waters and attacked by giant snakes. When we arrived to our apartment in Madeira I talked about my fears so much that my friend was beginning to regret sharing a room with me!
Yet the actual experience of going diving was nothing like I imagined. It started with a gentle introduction in the shallow waters and learning some interesting facts about the local marine environment. Then off we went on our dive, which was absolutely amazing experience!
The water was warm (about 20C) and crystal clear. We saw a school of fish, small barracuda and even monkfish. That was two days ago and tomorrow we are going again. On the next trip I am going to see the dolphins and maybe some rays.
Lola dived with “Diving in Madeira” but you can find more diving companies but looking HERE.
