The PADI Discover Snorkeling program is an experience,
not a course. It's a supervised snorkeling tour for fun.
Snorkelers
can return at any time to take part in another snorkeling trip.
Under the surface of the
sea lies a world full of life and colour, with a great variety of
animals and plants.
If you want to discover its beauty, we offer guided snorkeling trips
with mask, snorkel, a pair of fins and a wet-suit, so you can enjoy
exploring this underwater world. This activity is known as snorkeling.
It is a source of emotions and surprises for the adventurous, with the
advantage that it can be done without special preparation. In addition
it gives you moderate exercise with muscle toning and sculpting in the
critical areas and helps fighting the cellulites.
Snorkeling is swimming at the surface with a mask, a snorkel and fins.
In colder waters we usually use a neoprene wet-suit. The combination of
these tools allows the participant to observe aquatic life for extended
periods and with relatively little effort: the mask protects the eyes
from the water, giving a good view of the seabed; the snorkel allows you
to breathe so you don’t have to remove the head from the water, avoiding
excessive movement. The fins permit efficient movement through the
water. The neoprene wet-suit keeps you comfortably warm and helps you to
stay buoyant.
The main attraction of snorkeling is the opportunity for the entire
family to observe the aquatic life in its natural habitat. This includes
coral reefs and their residents, such as fish, cephalopods, sea stars,
sea urchins, and molluscs. Snorkeling over sandy areas may allow the
sight of rays, flatfish and various other species such as seaweed,
shrimp and turtles, and almost any other animal that might be found in
the sea depending on the time and location. Many of the organisms that
live on reefs are beautiful and shining colours, which can make the
experience very exciting.
You will at all times be supervised by an experienced guide, who will
help pointing out points of interest and ensure your safety. We choose
site, preferably in the protected natural park "Maro -Cerro Gordo", on a
daily basis to ensure the best conditions for visibility and safety.
There
is no certification requirement and no minimum age, so the experience
is open to the whole family.
We only ask that participants are able
to swim. Children of 8 years or younger must be accompanied by an
adult.
For the qualified divers, this is a great opportunity to bring along
their family members who don't scuba dive!
Advance
booking is preferred due to popularity of this activity, and to ensure
your preferred date and time.
Prices:
25 Euros for children 8-12 years, and 30 Euros for adults.
