Snorkeling
 

 

 

Snorkeling introduces individuals and families to the recreation of examining underwater magic from above. Because there is no age requirement for snorkeling, it is an activity that can be shared by the whole family.

If your planning a cruise or a trip to any resort in the tropics; your sure to find snorkeling and skin diving opportunities. Learn proper technique by enrolling in a snorkeling course. This is a golden opportunity to get your fins wet without all that SCUBA gear and this will give you a leg up if you choose to progress to SCUBA.

This program is being offered in partnership with your local YMCA, Health Clubs and East Coast Diver. Please sign up for this program directly through the YMCA, club, or drop us a line and we'll put you on the right track. See our calendar for upcoming dates and times.

YMCA members receive a discount on this program and every student will receive a whopping 15% off snorkeling equipment!

Prerequisites: Although there is no age requirement, your local YMCA or Health Club may offer a junior and an adult version of this course, complete medical questionnaire (with doctor approval upon request), and must demonstrate acceptable swimming skills.  

$35 / Student (YMCA Members)

$45-50 / Student (Non-YMCA Members)

Price includes all necessary equipment (mask, fins, snorkel) You need only bring yourself, appropriate swim wear, and a towel.

Agenda: 1-1.5 hr classroom session covering equipment considerations, physics and physiology associated with snorkeling, and environmental hazards (including good stewardship of the underwater world) followed by a 1.5-2 hr pool session covering the fundamentals of mask, fin, and snorkel use. 

This course is taught by skilled SCUBA instructors and dive leaders. Our first and foremost concern is your safety and enjoyment. See you in the pool!
