What to expect
You'll board the Blue Diamond and settle in as the hosts navigate familiar waters at an easy pace. The boat stops at scenic spots where you can slip into the sea with mask and snorkel to explore underwater features. Between swims, there's time to sit on deck, take in the towering cliffs, and hear Saro and Graziella's accounts of the region's past. Refreshments appear throughout. It's unhurried rather than action-packed—ideal if you want the water without rushing.
