St. John SNUBA Diving
Snuba® was created for those who enjoy the simplicity of snorkeling and would like to experience the wonders of breathing underwater. Snuba® is an unique, patented shallow water diving system, bridging the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving.
Snuba® is safe and easy and does not require certification. Even if you have never snorkeled or can't swim, Snuba® diving is available for you. Snuba® is easily accessible to couples, families, children eight years and older, and seniors. Our Snuba® Doo program allows children as young as 4 years of age to participate. It is a great way for a certified diver to introduce non-certified partners to the underwater breathing experience. (Read More)
Snuba® divers breathe underwater by means of a 20 foot air line which is connected to a standard scuba tank. The tank is mounted on a raft on the surface that follows your every movement. The airline 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 Snuba® tour is guided by a diving professional. Your guide will familiarize you with the Snuba® equipment you will be using and briefly describe what you can expect in the water.
You will start in shallow water and take whatever time necessary to get comfortable breathing underwater. Once comfortable, you are then taken on a guided underwater tour. During the dive you are never more than 20 feet from the security of the raft floating on the surface.
Snuba® enjoyed by generations of family members You will get the feeling that you are swimming in an aquarium surrounded by tropical fish. The reefs we Snuba® dive in have beautiful and abundant marine life. Dive into the underwater world and learn more about the wonderful world of Marine Life, but remember: Please respect our ocean by not touching, standing on coral or taking anything (except memories).
The Snuba® Doo Program
Snuba® Doo allows kids from 4 through 7 years of age to join their older siblings, parents or family members on a shared Snuba® experience. Kids wear a specially designed floatation vest, which provides buoyancy to support the participant on the surface. A standard regulator with smaller, kid's sized, mouthpiece provides a supply of air connected the air cylinder located on the Snuba® raft.
The Snuba® Doo airline is 10 feet in length, which is the furthest distance the Snuba® Doo kid's can be from the Snuba® raft. Safer than snorkeling, Snuba® Doo kids can cruise along above their family and friends while power snorkeling from the surface. If they get tired they can lay on the Snuba® raft. They never have to worry about sucking in salt water through a Snorkel and most importantly, a Snuba® Guide will be with the group the entire time.
Snuba® Doo is a fantastic innovation to promote family entertainment.
