Description

$279.00 PADI Discover snorkeling day is a full day event 7:30am - 4:30pm and rate includes Class/Confined Training at Lagoon & 2 locations of snorkeling in group setting off afternoon boat. All Rental gear included in the price as well. Guests must have own bathing/swimming suit to wear under the wetsuit.

The day starts out at 7:30am with a live classroom lesson on snorkeling skills and gear use. We will go over required paperwork and watch a short DVD lesson followed by a fitting in all required snorkeling and floatation gear for snorkeling. After a short drive to the lagoon, we will enter the water on a 3 feet deep platform where we will kneel and practice breathing from the snorkel and looking through the mask. Once comfortable with this, we will don the snorkeling fins and buoyant wetsuit and lifejacket. Next, we will start floating over the 3 feet deep platform until comfortable and not having to put feet down anymore. Then we will proceed to practice the skill of finning/swimming at the surface in the buoyant gear while keeping our face in the water looking through the mask and breathing from the snorkel. After we are totally comfortable doing this over the shallow platform, we will proceed to independently snorkel around in the ocean lagoon looking at the fish and sponge growth. 

Upon 100% successful completion of independence snorkeling for a minimum of 30 minutes nonstop without any panic while in the water and being able to move 100% finning/snorkeling with zero assistance by our staff, the PADI Discover Snorkeling guest will be ready to join us for our group guided snorkeling tour off the afternoon boat this day. 

All signed up discover snorkeling guests must arrive no later to the dive shop than 7:30am to allow for enough time in the morning to achieve success to be able to join the afternoon boat 2 location reef sessions.

Not everyone who signs up will have success learning as individual comfort levels vary. There is no refunds or adjustments to the day cost, however guests may opt to join the afternoon as a boat rider instead of snorkeling guest off the afternoon boat trip.
