About Vieques Snuba

Snuba® was created for those who enjoy the simplicity of snorkeling and would like to experience the wonders of breathing underwater. Snuba is a unique, patented shallow water diving system, bridging the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving.

Snuba® is safe and easy and does not require certification. If you enjoy snorkeling and have basic swimming skills, Snuba diving is for you.

Snuba is easily accessible to couples, families, children eight years and older, and seniors. Snuba is a great way for a certified diver to introduce non-certified partners to the underwater breathing experience. Snuba divers breathe underwater by means of a 20 foot air line which is connected to a standard scuba tank. The tank is mounted on a raft on the surface that follows your every movement. The airline allows you to tour underwater near the bottom, at mid-water or on the surface depending on your level of comfort.

There is no heavy diving gear. Every Snuba tour is guided by a certified Snuba diving professional. Your guide will familiarize you with the Snuba equipment you will be using and briefly describe what you can expect in the water. You will start in shallow water and take whatever time necessary to get comfortable breathing underwater. Once comfortable, you are then taken on a guided underwater tour.

During the dive you are never more than 20 feet from the security of the raft floating on the surface. You will get the feeling that you are swimming in an aquarium surrounded by tropical fish.The reefs we Snuba dive in have beautiful and abundant marine life. Dive into the underwater world and learn more about the wonderful world of Vieques' marine life, but remember:

Please respect our fragile ocean by not touching or standing on coral. Do not take anything except memories and leave only bubbles.
