# Scuba Diving Under Water Museum and Reef for beginners

**Guidekin's take:** A first dive experience in a small team with a PADI instructor: theory, then two open water dives at the MUSA underwater museum and the reef, gear and water included. The marine park fee, pool class and wetsuit are paid separately and weather can cancel the day. 4.76 from 193 reviews at €105 per person.
