GODive_06_1889_KidsFinsBeach_Large

Skin diving is snorkelling while making breath-hold dives to observe aquatic life, up close and personal. It’s a great way to explore the underwater world when you’re not able to scuba dive or if scuba diving just isn’t your thing. The PADI Skin Diver course teaches you how to enjoy watching life below the surface and comfortably venture underwater for short visits, whether you dive in a local freshwater lake or the big blue ocean, at home or on holiday at a dive destination.

Snorkelling is open to everyone – young and old – and is an enjoyable way to get the whole family involved in the underwater world as well as being a great introduction to the underwater world.
