The boat eases out of Puerto Marina, spray tasting of salt and citrus, while gulls wheel and the captain calls the route for the day. Within ten minutes the coast of the Costa del Sol falls away to open water; dolphins often ride the bow wake, and the sea itself seems to dare you to jump in.

Arrive early for calmer seas
Mornings usually offer better visibility for snorkeling and gentler wind for paddleboarding; request an early pickup if you prioritize glassy water.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Sunscreen is essential on open water—choose reef‑safe formulas to protect marine life and avoid slippery residue on boat decks.
Know swimming comfort levels
Basic swimming ability is recommended for snorkeling and use of the slide; non‑swimmers should discuss life jacket options with the crew before departure.
Protect your phone and valuables
Use a waterproof pouch or dry bag—apps and photos are great, but salt and spray are unforgiving to electronics.
Swimsuit and quick‑dry towel
You’ll be in and out of the water; fast‑dry fabric and a towel make transitions easy.
Personal snorkel mask
Masks are provided but a personal fit improves comfort and fogging control.
