Activity description

Trusted local pick

SNUBA offers the perfect blend of snorkeling and scuba diving, providing an unparalleled underwater adventure without the need for certification.

Unlike traditional scuba diving, SNUBA divers breathe through a standard scuba regulator connected by a 20-foot airline to an air supply floating on the surface. This innovative setup allows you to explore the underwater world at depths of up to 20 feet, giving you the freedom to dive deeper and stay longer than snorkeling.
