Skin Diver & Snorkelling

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 for you. The PADI Skin Diver course teaches you how watch life below the surface and comfortably venture underwater for short periods, whether you dive in a lake or in the ocean, at home or on holiday. To enrol in a PADI Skin Diver course, you must be at least 8 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and be comfortable in the water. No prior experience is required.
