Description

Meet at the dive center at 1:30 p.m. to receive all snorkeling equipment, including fins, mask, snorkel, and wetsuit. Once everyone is ready, board a comfortable boat for a trip to the Lerins Islands near Cannes or along the Estérel coast toward Saint Raphael, known for its rocky formations.

The boat will anchor over a rocky seabed where you can swim and observe Mediterranean marine life. A certified instructor will provide safety instructions and supervision throughout the session.

The snorkeling session lasts about 1.5 hours, giving you time to swim or relax on the boat in the sun or shade. The full excursion lasts approximately 4 hours, including round-trip travel and time spent anchored.

In case of adverse weather, the tour may end earlier than planned. Depending on the number of participants, a smaller Zodiac boat may be used.
