The engine thumps, the Adriatic stretches blue and the coastline of southern Istria slips into view — a scatter of islets, sheer limestone cliffs and pebbly coves that seem to wait for a dive. On this half-day Rio boat trip you’ll cut across the Medulin aquatorium toward Cape Kamenjak, step off the boat into water clear enough to read the rocks below, and return to a three-course lunch on deck.

Bring reef or water shoes
Beaches are often pebbly and the seabed can be rocky; shoes protect your feet for entering and exiting the water.
Apply reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll be in direct sun and in sensitive marine habitat — use reef-friendly sunscreen to protect both skin and sea life.
Know your swim limits
Snorkeling spots are generally shallow but currents can change; stay with the group and the guide if you’re not a confident swimmer.
