SNORKELING
Description: Our program starts with a briefing on the snorkeling gear & tricks on how to get the best experience out of it. We also give you safety instruction on how to avoid fatigue situations, heat stroke and how to take care of the coral reef that takes so many years to grow. You will be familiarized with the underwater environment you are about to explore: the living coral reef and the fish who inhabit it. Being able to spot a specific coral or fish and knowing a bit about it –life span, unique characteristics, etc- can change your whole snorkeling experience. Being supervised by our highly trained PADI Divemasters or Scuba Diving Instructors who know the place like no one else gives you the security of going safely out to sea.
