Description
Meet your instructors at L'Atelier de la Mer dive center located in Port de la Pointe Rouge, Marseille. You will be provided with all necessary equipment, including a wetsuit or shorty (wetsuit use is mandatory), fins, mask, and snorkel.
Board the diving boat for a 20 to 25-minute sail to the snorkeling site. The exact location is selected from several options within Calanques National Park such as the Riou Archipelago, Planier Island, Frioul Archipelago, or Maïre Island, based on current weather and sea conditions to ensure optimal safety and visibility.
Upon arrival, receive a detailed briefing covering snorkeling procedures, safety measures, and an introduction to the local marine environment. Begin your snorkel hike to explore the Mediterranean seabed, encountering fish, Posidonia meadows, rocky formations, and diverse underwater life.
Participants may choose to remain on board to relax and enjoy the scenery instead of snorkeling. After the session, return to the boat for the journey back to Pointe Rouge harbor. Disembark at the dive center where you may use showers and coat check facilities before finishing the activity.
Includes
- Rental of all required equipment (bring your own bathing suit)
- Safety and snorkeling briefing
- Return sailing to and from the snorkeling site
- Access to hot showers and coat check at the dive center
