Snuba

UNIQUE on St. Maarten !  Snuba is a patented shallow water diving system that bridges the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving.  It is safe and easy, family-friendly and does not require certification.

Even if you’ve never snorkeled, Snuba diving is for you !

• Minimum age = 8
• No bulky dive tanks
• American trained instructors

Per person rates :

• US$ 65 for children 8 to 12
• US$ 75 for adults
• US$ 45 for snorkeling only & spectators

How does it work ?

Snuba divers breathe underwater by means of a 20 ft air line which is connected to a standard scuba tank. The tank is mounted on a raft on the surface. It follows your every move. The air line allows you to tour underwater near the bottom, at mid-water or on the surface, depending on your level of comfort. There is no heavy diving gear.

Every tour is guided by a diving professional. Your guide will familiarize you with the Snuba equipment you will be using and will briefly describe what you can expect in the water
