The ideal season runs from May to October: warmer waters and stable weather conditions. July and August are the busiest months (book 2-4 weeks in advance), while May-June and September-October offer calm seas and fewer crowds. In winter (November-April), many activities reduce outings or operate only on request.
Yes: certification is required for single diving in the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area (Open Water or higher). Total duration of the activity: 2.5-3 hours (briefing 30-45 min, dive 30-50 min depending on depth, boat transfers). No certification is needed for the scuba baptism: the introductory session lasts 1.5-2 hours, with a guided dive in shallow waters.
Bring identification, certification if diving, swimsuit, towel, and high protection sunscreen. For snorkeling, usually a mask, snorkel, and fins are enough (some operators provide them, check rental prices €5-15). Book morning outings for calmer seas and better visibility; communicate any health issues (asthma, heart conditions) before booking.
