DIVING

THE SCHEDULE: The programme lasts a total of about 3 hours, and begins with a brief presen- tation on the characteristics of the environment of the Protected Area. The group then boards the boat in the port of Grignano and is accompanied to the Castle reef, where the dive begins, along a planned route with a maximum depth of 9 metres. During the visit of approximately one hour, divers will have the opportunity to observe the different environments and the sea creatures and other organisms that distinguish the Gulf of Trieste but they must strictly adhere to the rules in force in the protected area.

EQUIPMENT: Participants must be in possession of suitable diving equipment; in no case will the Marine Area be able to provide diving equipment on loan.

PRICES: The cost of the dive is per group (8 divers + 2 instructors) and is equal to: > € 280 – daytime diving> and € 320 – nighttime diving

PAYMENT AND REFUNDS: The payment of the fee must be made by bank transfer no later than the Thursday before the visit itself. In the event that a cancellation is necessary, due to adverse weather conditions, (no later than the day before the visit), the payment will be re- funded or be used as payment for the trip if it is rearranged on another date. In the event that, despite an uncertain weather forecast, a group chooses to come in any case but the trip is not feasible for reasons of safety, (which is at the sole discretion of the Miramare MPA guides), 50% of the amount paid will be retained.
