WHAT ISSNORKELING?

About Snorkeling

ALL ABOUT SNORKELING

 

Snorkeling in Pula and south Istria is one of the top summer activities. Snorkeling is safe, easy and enjoyable for all ages and skill levels. It’s an ideal adventure for families and friends.

 

What is snorkeling, anyway?
Snorkeling is swimming or floating along the sea surface and enjoying the underwater world equipped with a mask, a snorkel, and swim fins. Snorkelers can take a short dive down to take a closer look at something interesting below them.

 

The mask allows having a clear vision underwater, the snorkel to breathe with the face submerged by sea, and the swim fins to move with less effort and more control.

 

Snorkeling does not require any special training or strong physical effort. It allows us to see the beauty of the underwater world, and provides amazing health benefits.

 

If you like taking pictures, snorkeling is also an amazing opportunity to take epic underwater shots of marine life. For that, all you’ll need is a waterproof camera.

 

There are many ways to learn about the marine wilderness, but the best way to experience the underwater world is to simply put on a mask, dip your face beneath the surface, and open an unforgettable window of wonders!

 

What I can see while snorkeling?
There’s a wide variety of what may be found below and above the sea surface when snorkeling in Pula and south Istria. From colorful fishes to octopuses, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and sea stars as well as different types of sea sponges, crabs and anemones…

 

If you’re lucky you’ll be able to spot colorful sea slugs or even a seahorse.

 

You are less likely to see sea mammals than any other marine species when snorkeling. They often stay away from noise and boats. You may see bottlenose dolphins when you’re above water, but less likely when you’re snorkeling among the reefs.

 

What are the best spots for snorkeling?
Snorkeling is mostly practiced freely, entering the water from a beach or rocks. However, to reach some spots located in remote areas, a boat can be needed.

 

We offer quality, FUN snorkeling tours for up to 12 people, small enough we can ensure you have a great time underwater! Choose between a day or half-day snorkeling boat trips which allows you to snorkel off the boat directly and enjoy these spots, like reefs, sea caves and islands.


FUN FACTSABOUT SNORKELING

Snorkeling is practiced by millions of individuals around the world. It’s a captivating water activity that allows you to explore the stunning beauty of marine ecosystems without the aid of complex scuba diving gear.

Whether you’re an seasoned snorkeler or just starting out, snorkeling is safe, easy and enjoyable for people of all ages and skill level. It is a great way to introduce kids to the captivating underwater world.

One of the main features of snorkeling is the opportunity to meet a variety of sea creatures. From colorful fish to fascinating nudibranchs, snorkeling allows you to connect with the marine world in a personal and unique way.

From reefs to sandy or rocky sea-beds, the versatility of snorkeling allows you to explore diverse underwater ecosystems. The Pigeons Cave, Muzil Peninsula, and Cape Kamenjak are popular snorkeling spots in Pula.

Snorkeling is a low-impact exercise that offers numerous health benefits, including improved muscular strenght, cardiovascular fitness and breathe control which helps develop strong heart and lung function.

To have a safe and comfortable snorkeling experience, you will need a mask, snorkel, and fins. These essential gear allow you to breathe and glide through the water more effectively.

Responsible snorkelers follow the rules of conduct, principles such as not touching or disturbing marine life, avoiding standing on reefs, and leaving only bubbles behind. This helps to protect the delicate marine ecosystems.

Snorkeling is a great social activity that can be done with friends and family. Exploring the underwater world together creates lasting memories and offers a shared sense of wonder and adventure.

Those who are new to snorkeling will learn basic skills and increase their comfort in the water. Snorkeling provides an introduction to other water activities such as scuba diving, free diving, or even underwater photography.

The tranquility experienced while snorkeling promotes mental relaxation, stress reduction, and mindfulness. Snorkeling allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, facilitating a state of calm and clarity.
