alled “the best underwater advancement since flippers” by Caribbean Travel & Life, SNUBA (Surface Nexus Underwater Breathing Apparatus) differs from SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) because it allows you to go below the water’s surface without wearing a heavy air tank. Instead, your air supply is on a raft, floating above you and following you as you swim. All you have to do is breathe through a regulator that is hooked to your air supply above. On a guided SNUBA tour at TradeWinds, you only go as deep as 15 feet, no experience or certification is required, and children eight years and older can give it a try. See the checklist to determine if SNUBA could be your next adventure. If so, you can book your tour by the SNUBA tent beachfront between Island Grand and Guy Harvey Outpost between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., or call 727.313.2531. The guided tour lasts roughly 30 minutes and is only $45 per person.
SNUBA Checklist If you check one or more of these boxes, SNUBA is the ideal adventure for you! I love to swim and feel very comfortable in the water. I love snorkeling and am comfortable wearing a mask and fins underwater. I’ve always wanted to try SCUBA diving, but don’t want to go through the lengthy certification process. I want to see what’s underwater, but it scares me to go too deep. I want to get a feel for what SCUBA diving is like before I spend the time and money to get certified. I want a safe way to introduce my older children to the underwater world. I’m an older adult who wants to try something that’s thrilling, yet safe enough for my age. I want to experience a brand new adventure on my vacation.
To try SNUBA, you MUST check the boxes below: I am at least eight years old. I am not pregnant. I don’t have any heart or lung conditions.
“SNUBA is great for ages 8 to 80+. My oldest participant to date was 86 years old. I’m looking for someone to beat that!”
I’ll be able to understand the instructor’s safety instructions (in English) before diving.
