Saturday was the first of the introductory diving courses being held at the Municipal Swimming Pool and supervised by instructors from Buceo Costa Nerja, the diving school located on Burriana beach.
The introductory courses are being run by the Nerja Council for Sports and continue every Saturday from 17:00 to 19:00 throughout February and March.
The sessions cover the handling of diving equipment, the basics of pressure compensation, general knowledge about diving and, of course, practical lessons in the pool.
Anyone interested can sign up at the Municipal Swimming Pool or call 951 322 085. The cost is €20.
