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.
