What to expect

Our gear kit includes the following: 7mm wetsuit mask and snorkel 7mm dive gloves 7mm dive booties dive hood flippers Our experienced guides will assist all guests to make sure they are able to don the suits. Once everyone is properly suited up and outfitted, we will all hop in the Snorkelmobile and drive to one of our two dive sites. At the dive site, we will walk down into the water over a rocky shore. Both dive sites have relatively easy, walk-in entry, but will require walking over rocks. Once in the water, our knowledgable guides will swim with you, using a foamy surfboard in case anyone needs to rest or has any trouble. Our guide will also help point out wildlife. After 40-60 minutes in the water, we will all gather onshore and dry off. Afterwards we will drop our guests off downtown for their next adventure. If you are on a cruise, we will work with you to make sure you don’t miss your departure.
