SNUBA® & SNUBA Doo®
SNUBA® is a shallow water diving system whereby customers can explore underwater up to 3 metres. No need to wear heavy equipment, the air tanks float on the surface and you breathe through a normal scuba regulator mouthpiece. Similar to SNUBA®, the SNUBA Doo® Power Snorkelling is when you remain on the surface by wearing a buoyancy jacket and using the SNUBA® raft to breath through a scuba regulator mouth piece.
It is easier than snorkelling because you won’t get any water into your mouth, (which may happen with the snorkel tube). You will also be close to the SNUBA® raft for additional surface support.
Certain medical conditions and medications may preclude some people from participating in optional in-water activities. Passengers are unable to use their own/rented camera for snuba underwater activities due to health and safety requirements, however pictures are available for purchase taken by our professional photographers.
