If you enjoy snorkeling but have always wanted to do a little more than float above the majestic creatures of the Pacific, you’re going to love SNUBA. Using a 20-foot air line connected to a traditional tank, this innovative diving system allows users to breathe underwater without having to get scuba certified first. Below, the friendly team at Ko Olina Ocean Adventures in Kapolei, HI, shares just a few reasons why you should try this exhilarating excursion the next time you visit Oahu.

Why You Should Book a SNUBA Tour on Your Next Vacation

1. It’s Easy

SNUBA may require a little more equipment than standard snorkeling, but it’s actually a lot easier to master, and children as young as eight can take part in the fun. Using the regulator is simple, and it provides continuous airflow at any depth up to 20 feet. To ensure you are totally comfortable with the equipment, you will undergo a brief orientation with a diving professional, who will familiarize everyone with the breathing mechanism and explain what to expect once in the water.

2. It’s Unforgettable

You can go snorkeling anywhere, but only SNUBA provides an immersive, underwater experience without the need for complicated scuba equipment. Although the photos you take on the SNUBA tour will be breathtaking, you won’t need any of them because the dive itself will be unforgettable.

3. It’s Relatively Affordable

For those who are determined to dive 10 or 20 feet down, doing it with SNUBA will be a lot more affordable than getting a scuba certification and renting all the equipment. In fact, even those who are planning on getting scuba-certified should try SNUBA first to get a feel for deeper dives and make sure it’s something that they truly want to pursue.
