A completely original and safe system, Snuba sees a diver connected via an air pipe to an inflatable raft that holds the air tanks. As the diver moves along,the raft follows above them. People using this system can reach depths of about 20 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. This is the perfect way to witness and experience Hawaii's underwater heaven.
So why would people choose this over snorkeling and snuba adventures? Firstly, instruction takes only a quarter of an hour; while snuba excursions require divers to have some experience to have attained special certifications. This allows people as young as eight years of age to experience the magic that can be found under the ocean. On top of this there is not the added clumsiness and awkwardness of lugging heavy tanks on your back - just a light harness that fixes you to the raft. Divers also have greater flexibility than those that snorkel, as they are able to go to greater depths for longer periods of time.
All diving should be watched over by a professional who is responsible for ensuring you are completely comfortable and familiar with the equipment you will be using. Most practices will start you off in shallow waters gradually going deeper until you have fully mastered using the breathing apparatus.
