There’s a whole new rage taking over the water sports
community. It’s called snuba and it is
magically awesome!
In the past people on vacation in Hawaii would flock to gorgeous snorkeling and scuba spots
on the Hawaiian Islands to see beautiful marine life right in front of
them.
Some of those spots include Hanauma Bay, Electric
Beach and Shark’s Cove on Oahu. Molokini
Crater in Maui (gorgeous location and perhaps the best snorkeling spot in the
world!). Kealakekua Bay on the Big
Island and Ke’e Beach on Kauai. These
locations are awesome for snorkeling and
scuba.
We’re
talking about SNUBA, though…a cross between snorkeling and
scuba.
What is
SNUBA?
Basially, snuba is a form of surface-supplied air from
a raft, kayak or small boat. The person
who is diving wears flippers, a diving mask and weights. There is a regulator on the mask that runs to
the air supply system on the vessel above via tubing. The weights are so the person can actually
submerge into the water and swim around to explore.
Snuba is super safe.
There is always a trained professional keeping an eye on all
divers. The breathing system is expertly
developed by SNUBA international. So,
relax and enjoy the magic of snuba on your visit to Hawaii.

Why is Snuba So Magical?
Snorkeling
is great but it has its limitations. You need to stay close to shore and can’t
dive for long periods of time to “hang out” with the marine life. Scuba is awesome, but you need to get
certified, become good at it, and lug around a heavy air tank. Snuba
is the perfect mix of both of them.
You can dive in semi-deep water, and stay submerged because of the
weights and the breathing system.
It doesn’t
take long to watch an educational video or receive a safety and instructional
class (one hour tops!) and then you can be “doing the snuba” with tropical
fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu),
moray eels and rays. A
must do on your Hawaii holiday to create that memorable experience of a
lifetime!
