Learning to Breath Underwater is an Incredible Adventure!

You can dive practically anywhere there’s water –
from a swimming pool to the ocean and all points in between, including quarries, lakes, rivers and springs;
and is determined by your experience level, site accessibility, conditions, and interests .

Snorkeling is the practice of swimming at the surface of a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a snorkel, and usually fins. These allow the snorkeler the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting for extended periods of time with relatively little effort. It is a popular recreational activity, particularly at tropical resort destinations and shallow scuba diving locations. Snorkling requires no special training, only the ability to swim and to breathe through the snorkel. Snorkeling is also practiced by scuba divers when near the surface.

Scuba Diving (or diving with Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) is the practice of swimming underwater, while using a scuba set. By carrying apparatus and cylinders of breathing gas (usually compressed air) in which compressed gas (usually air) is inhaled from a tank and then exhaled into the water. Scuba divers are able to stay underwater longer than with snorkling and simple breath-holding techniques.
