Once in contact with water, you will contemplate the light of the sky and the darkness of the depths that mix, the running of air bubbles under the surface, and fishes that will snake in and out your feet. You will also enjoy natural beauty and its silence. Throughout this activity, you will of course be always accompanied with a professional who will guide you during your exploration. A very special experience, full of emotions!
