We have the perfect excursion for everyone who loves to swim, and is also a great introduction to SCUBA Diving! This is a fun and safe activity that is so easy even those as young as 6 years old may participate! SNUBA is just like real SCUBA diving, but the heavy air tanks float on the surface instead of being strapped to your back. No prior diving experience or training is needed; you just need to have basic swimming skills. Make sure to bring your waterproof camera!
For this SNUBA adventure, you simply take any taxis available outside your cruise ship port. It's a short 5-minute drive to the SNUBA site, located between the cruise ship piers, where your certified PADI dive master will be waiting for you. You will store your belongings and be given a safety briefing. This is a personalized experience with 3 or 4 participants per dive master. Please note that guests are not allowed to wear sunscreen in the water to help protect the reef from damaging chemicals.
First, you will practice with the equipment in the shallow water just off the beach. Once your group is ready, the dive instructor will lead you further into the water and the fun begins! You will explore the beauty of the coral reef and marine life of Cozumel. The dive master will be by your side and point out some of the interesting sights and assist you along the way. Your maximum depth will be only 20 feet and you may surface at any time if needed.
For ages 6 and 7, you can participate in SNUBA Doo. Children will have their own instructor and stay at the surface. If there is anyone traveling with you that would like to just come along and watch, they are welcome to watch from the shore at no charge.
Each SNUBA session is 30 minutes and when the dive is completed, the guide will lead you back to the beach area. You are welcome to stay at the small beach club for as long as you wish and use all of the facilities including lounge chairs, beach tables, chairs, restrooms, and showers. You also get unlimited use of their snorkel gear, 3 stand up paddleboards (SUP) as well as the full-service restaurant where you may purchase food and drinks.
Whenever you are ready to head back to your ship, you can simply ask the staff to call you a cab, or go outside the club and hop on one of the many taxis available that will take you back to your Cozumel cruise ship terminal.
