Full description

There is nothing better for an explorer than an exciting experience in contact with nature!

Snorkel for 2½ hours in the Protected Marine Area of the Cinque Terre, in Riomaggiore, in search of the most fascinating aquatic species in the Mediterranean.

Among octopuses, moray eels, bream and damselfish, you will be welcomed into the magical underwater world of Liguria.

What we will do

The meeting point will be at the diving centre in Riomaggiore (SP), 10 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.

Here we will receive our snorkellingequipment consisting of mask, fins and snorkel and we will head with the skipper to our boat at the small port of Riomaggiore.

Descending the steps separating us from the mooring, we will reach the boat, which will take us to the dive spot, located some 500 metres away from Riomaggiore, in 5 minutes. On board, the skipper will provide us with some notions about the species we might encounter and the rules we will have to respect; once in the water, however, we will be free to explore the seabed on our own.

Once we reach the first dive site, we will have about 1 hour to swim and observe the seabed of the Cinque Terre in search of fascinating marine species. Following this, we will move on to a second dive spot, where we will have the opportunity to admire octopuses, moray eels, bream and damselfish for another hour, as well as the numerous species present on the rocks.

Back on board, we will return to Riomaggiore, where we can get dressed at the diving centre. The activity will last about 2½ hours in total.

Who it is aimed at

The activity is suitable for everyone from 8 years of age. Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Other information
