What To Expect
Have you ever been to the sea at night?
This is a completely different adventure that you will remember all your life.
We will snorkel in a privileged area where octopuses and squid hunt at night and don’t worry, we will be there only to observe nocturnal species.
We will walk from the shore to the water and move around an area no bigger than two basketball courts, the maximum depth is 2.5 meters so it is quite safe.
Each person will have a flashlight. If you think you need a life jacket, we can provide one. I'll have my camera ready all the time to take videos for you.
We will spend about 1 hour in the water swimming constantly.
We'll have to work as a team because octopuses are experts in camouflage. We will always be at a safe distance from the animals, we will explain how to move in the water even if you can not swim and also how to communicate in the water, at no time encourage direct contact with any of the species.
