This will be followed by a snorkelling lesson on board, during which we will learn how to use theequipment correctly and practise the various positions to hold in the water; there will also be a part dedicated to relaxation exercises in the water. And here we are ready to dive during the 2 swimming stops lasting 1 hour each in the best coves according to the conditions of the day, swimming independently to discover the marine world and its inhabitants!
