Sports: Scuba Diving
If you ever wanted to learn to scuba dive, this is it. You can take a day course called a “baptism”, which you spend an hour learning the theory, then get into the water with an instructor by your side.
This baptism won’t get you certified (which allows you to rent equipment and go off on your own) but will count towards certification. Dive Bahia offers the baptism in a variety of warm water reefs.
