Amazing in-water experiences are not for divers alone. Snorkeling is a simpler, more universally accessible option that provides ample opportunities for underwater sightseeing and animal encounters.

In some instances, snorkeling is the best underwater option. Whales, for example, are best seen while snorkeling rather than diving, since the air bubbles created by scuba gear frighten the whales. Non-divers can snorkel with whales without any training by floating at the surface in a dry suit, which acts like an enormous life preserver. Divers will also normally shed tanks and do likewise. This experience is accessible to all who wish to parcticipate.
