I guess you're lucky if you get Mino as a captain. We did not. Our captain did not seem particularly interested in being there and did not share any history or information to us. He perked up during the aperitivo, which was great (the aperitivo). There were no snorkels, only a handful of masks. There was no water to drink. The water was beautiful to swim in. I reached out to Mino and let him know all of this. He was kind to offer to host me again as his guest.
