The sea opens like a cool room around you — a shallow bowl of clear water rimmed by sun-warmed rocks and small coves. In Mirabello Bay, the Blue Dolphin instructors anchor the boat and guide a small group through a measured introduction: mask fit, breathing through a snorkel, clearing water, then gliding over bright seagrass and drop-offs.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and the local Posidonia meadows by using reef-safe sunscreen and applying it before arrival.
Wear sturdy water shoes
Rocky entry points and boat ramps are common — closed-toe water shoes help protect feet and improve traction.
Hydrate and eat lightly
A small snack and water before boarding help prevent weakness or nausea during surface intervals and brief boat rides.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before the trip; boats are stable but can roll in swell.
Swimsuit
Comfortable swimwear for getting in and out of the water and practicing skills.
