What the day feels like
What to expect on the water
The flow is deliberately relaxed: meet at the dive centre where gear is fitted and small refreshments are offered, then transfer to the boat (guests generally drive themselves; free parking is available and the operator can provide a lift if needed). A boat safety briefing is given during transit, followed by a personalised snorkel briefing tailored to the group's experience. Snorkelling time totals roughly one to three hours depending on the group's wishes, with the crew offering time to hang out on the boat, jump back in for more swimming, and — weather permitting — a visit to a second location before returning to harbour and back to the centre to view and optionally purchase trip photos.
