What to expect
You'll start at the dive centre where staff fit you with snorkelling gear and brief you on basics. Your guide then leads you into the water, pacing the group and pointing out submerged ruins as you go. Expect to spend 2–3 hours actually in the water, with the guide stopping to explain what you're seeing—pottery shards, architectural fragments, and the shape of the landscape itself. The route shifts depending on tide, wind, and available daylight; no two visits are identical.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant or with significant heart conditions. Public transport connects to the dive centre. All snorkelling equipment is supplied. Bring a towel and change of clothes. Check tide forecasts beforehand; rough seas can affect visibility and route options.
