Most Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What experience is required to try SNUBA®?

A. No scuba certification, no previous diving experience or even snorkeling experience is required. You need only basic swimming skills and a desire to explore underwater.

Q. How long is the SNUBA Adventure?
A. The entire SNUBA Adventure is conducted in about an hour. SNUBA was developed for those who would like to safely experience breathing and exploring underwater without the investment of precious vacation time. The entire SNUBA program includes the following:


* Pre-dive Presentation / Orientation Approximately 15 minutes
* Equipment Outfitting Approximately 10 minutes
* Skills Demonstration / Practice Approximately 10 minutes
* Underwater Exploring Approximately 25 minutes


Q. How safe is SNUBA diving?
A. Since 1988, SNUBA operations worldwide have conducted over 3.5 million, injury free SNUBA Adventures. SNUBA diving has proven itself to be the safest form of diving offered anywhere in the world.

Q. How do you breathe and is it difficult?
A. You breathe through a mouthpiece called a regulator. As you begin to inhale a comfortable flow of air is provided from a compressed air cylinder located in the raft. The most difficult thing to remember is that you will be breathing through your mouth and not your nose.

Q. What equipment do I wear?
A. You will be wearing a pair of fins, a mask, a weight belt (to neutralize your bouyancy in the water) and a SNUBA harness which connects your air line to the raft on the surface.

Q. How deep can I dive?
A. The depth is limited by the length of the air lines which allow you to dive to a maximum depth of 20 feet.

Q. What if I am uncomfortable going down?
A. Our primary pursuit is to see that you have a safe and enjoyable experience. SNUBA diving is encouraged at your own level of comfort. Whether you are comfortable at the surface holding on to the raft or diving down to 20 feet, you will never be asked to do anything you do not want to do .

Q. Will I be diving with a guide?
A. Always. Every SNUBA Adventure is conducted by a professionally trained SNUBA Guide. Your SNUBA Guide will be with you during the entire adventure and share with you the knowledge they have gained about marine life and the reef ecosystem. Most importantly, your SNUBA Guide will be there to provide a safe underwater experience.
