Check-in
We’re excited you’re coming to snorkel or dive with us!
- Please report to the front desk 15 minutes before your session to ensure a smooth check-in.

- Your two-hour time slot begins after your wristband is scanned at the entrance. If you check out after your time slot, an additional charge of €10 will be applied for every 15 minutes.
- You can purchase daily insurance (€5) with your online reservation or during check-in.
- You can rent diving equipment at the front desk according to the rates in our price list.
