What better way to visit a marine reserve than to dive into its protected waters, so that you can discover its rich biodiversity of habitats and species?
We are talking about Snorkeling or surface fin-swimming. From June to September every year, we can offer you the opportunity to go into the completely protected zone of the Marine Area, to observe the hundreds of species of marine animals and plants that populate it. In small groups, accompanied by the WWF staff you will be able to swim among the schools of dream fish (Sarpa salpa), white sea bream and damselfish (Chromis chromis). Thanks to the skill and experience of the WWF guides, you may come across the rarest brown meagre (or corb), or be able to spot sea creatures that might otherwise escape more inexperienced eyes, such as blennies, nudibranchs, sponges, anemones and many others.
As early as mid-June, small organized groups (minimum 5, maximum 6 participants) can book an excursion at the Miramare MPA while the fixed appointments officially begin on June 24th!

WHERE
The itineraries proposed within the marine area wind along the coast, at the foot of Miramare Castle, along a shallow underwater path among the rocks and a few metres from the shore. Every summer there are departures offered from Miramare’s protected beach or from the port of Grignano, where you take the Reserve’s boat to reach the diving area.
WHO
Snorkeling is a way of observing the underwater environment that suitable for everyone, adults and children. The only requirement is to be able to swim and to use the simple, necessary equipment: mask, snorkel and fins.
WHY
But why go guided seawatching at the Miramare Reserve when you can ‘snorkel’ freely outside the protected area? There are at least two good reasons!
