Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Adriatic sun is strong; use reef‑safe SPF and reapply after swims to protect both skin and marine life.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shorelines and slippery jetties make water shoes useful for entering/exiting the sea at coves.
Stay hydrated between swims
Unlimited water and juice are provided, but bring a refillable bottle and sip regularly to avoid fatigue.
Timing for calmer seas
Choose morning departures for gentler water and clearer snorkeling visibility when wind typically picks up later.
