Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure a good spot on the beach and to ensure you receive a commemorative t-shirt and broth before supplies run out.
- Bring a towel and a change of warm clothes for immediately after the dive, as you'll want to dry off and warm up quickly.
- Consider wearing a festive or humorous costume to join in the spirit of the event, as many other participants do.
- Check the weather forecast beforehand and dress in layers, as coastal weather can be unpredictable, especially in late December.
- If you prefer not to get fully wet, you can still enjoy the lively atmosphere and cheer on the participants from the shore.
