OCEAN CAY SNUBA EXPLORATION
Excursion details
You don’t need days of diving training to enjoy a taste of underwater life, as this approximately one-hour excursion demonstrates. Instead, you’ll be using the SNUBA system, which lets you explore below the surface, fully submerged, but without the need to wear or carry heavy equipment.
SNUBA is a form of shallow diving where the diver breathes through a mouthpiece attached to a hose, which runs up to an air tank floating on a raft above the surface. This allows for freedom of movement under the water.
Begin by making your way to Ocean Cay’s Bimini Beach, where you’ll meet your SNUBA instructor and sign a waiver, before making your way to the offshore SNUBA site. Your instructor will then show you how to use the SNUBA equipment and give a short briefing on safety and underwater communication.
Then your SNUBA experience of approximately 30 minutes begins. You’ll start in shallow water before gradually moving to increased depths. Once you’re comfortable, begin enjoying the underwater Bahamian views, looking out for a variety of plant life and marine life (although sightings cannot be guaranteed) and submerged, Roman-style statues.
After the SNUBA session ends, you’ll return the equipment and, finally, walking back to the ship.
