Description

Treat your group to a snorkeling trip starting from Almanarre Beach and explore the underwater world.
Equipped with a mask, snorkel, and fins, set out with your group to explore an exceptional heritage site steeped in history. Guided by Camille, a passionate instructor, you’ll explore in complete safety the ancient ruins of Olbia, an ancient Greek city founded over 2,300 years ago and now partially submerged. At a depth of less than 5 meters, the ancient Roman trading post unfolds before you, and a little further on, you’ll see the wreck of the Tartane. As you head back toward the shore, the paleo-tombolo is home to a rich biodiversity. Throughout this guided underwater tour, you’ll observe Posidonia seagrass beds, Mediterranean fish, and traces left by the coast’s earliest inhabitants. Thanks to your guide’s explanations, this activity becomes a true immersion in the history and biodiversity of our region. Target Audience: Nonprofit organizations, employee representative bodies (CSE), tour bus operators, travel agencies, destination management companies, seminar groups, school groups, groups of friends, and families. Minimum of 8 participants Duration: Allow 2 hours total, including equipment setup, briefing, and guided tour Difficulty: Easy. No diving experience is required, but you must be comfortable in the water. Recommendations: A wetsuit is provided when conditions require it. During the summer, bring a towel, a swimsuit, water, and sunscreen for use before and after the activity.
