Who this class is for

We meet folks every day who love the water but aren’t interested in getting certified to scuba dive. This is especially true for folks who love traveling to the Caribbean, Australia or other tropical destinations where the in-water sights are outstanding. While learning to snorkel is easy for most, learning to identify hazards in the water, planning out your dive and safety for everyone is of high importance. Our experienced instructors share both their expertise and experience with you to help ensure your snorkeling outings are enjoyable and safe as possible.
