What To Expect

Hotel pickup starts around 08:00, depending on the hotel location, followed by a transfer to the marina, where arrival is around 09:30. After a safety briefing and equipment preparation, the boat departs at 10:00.

The activity includes two guided scuba dives, organized in small groups. The first dive takes place before lunch at depths of approximately 5–12 meters, with an underwater time of around 20 minutes. While one group is diving, others can relax on the boat, swim, or sunbathe.

Lunch is served onboard between the two dives. After lunch, participants complete the second guided dive, again in small groups. Between and after dives, there is free time for swimming and relaxation.

At the end of the program, the boat returns to the harbor, followed by a transfer back to the hotel.
