When you go on a tropical vacation to places like Punta Cana, you often want to explore the ocean below. Getting to swim and look at all of the colorful marine life and coral reef can provide you with some of the best memories.
Many people consider snorkeling because it is an easy way to swim in the ocean while exploring, but the bad thing about snorkeling is that you can’t go very deep due to running out of air. The good news is snorkeling isn’t a person’s only option–they can also consider scuba diving or SNUBA. When choosing whether you want to go scuba diving or to SNUBA, you might want to know what their differences are.
– What is Scuba Diving?
Scuba diving (or Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), is an activity that allows you to breathe underwater while you swim in the sea or ocean. Using a regulator and a tank of air, people are able to go about 100 feet into the ocean, which allows them to explore parts of the ocean you wouldn’t be able to with a traditional snorkeling mask. (One thing to note is that not anybody can scuba dive–in order to scuba dive on a vacation, you have to have your scuba certification. This is a certification that states a person has gone through the proper training to learn how to scuba dive).
– Is Scuba Diving Safe?
Scuba diving is a very safe water activity if you know what you are doing. That is why it is so important to take scuba diving lessons and earn a scuba diving license. Being responsible and realizing that it is serious is the first step in keeping yourself safe. Yes, it’s important to have fun and enjoy yourself while you scuba dive, but you can stay safe and have fun at the same time.
– What is SNUBA aka HOOKAH DIVING?
If you are looking for an easy way to dive at deeper depths without a scuba certification, SNUBA is an excellent alternative. SNUBA (also known as HOOKAH DIVING) is a combination of snorkeling and scuba diving, that allows you to dive at 20 feet without lugging around heavy equipment or worrying if you are going to get sick. With scuba diving, you have to know how to use the equipment, as well as being certified, but with SNUBA it only requires a 15-minute safety instruction and then you can go on a tour with a SNUBA guide! If scuba diving appeals to you, but you don’t have time to get certified and you want to be able to swim and explore right on your hotel or resort’s beach, SNUBA or HOOKAH DIVING is a wonderful option.
– How Do You HOOKAH DIVE?
HOOKAH DIVING not only doesn’t require certification, it is incredibly easy to do. If you want to hookah dive you don’t have to go through a long class to learn about it–all it takes is a 15-minute safety demonstration. Once that has been completed, you are free to dive. While scuba diving requires someone to wear a air tank on their back, HOOKAH DIVING doesn’t require that. You will still need an air tank and a regulator, as you will get to dive at least 20 feet. The air tank will be floating on top of a raft that connects to an air line and to the harness that you will wear
Your air tank will follow you wherever you go, as the air line that is attached to the air tank will be connected to the harness. Because you don’t have to carry a huge water tank, you can enjoy diving without extra weight on you. HOOKAH DIVING gives you more freedom than scuba diving and snorkeling and is very safe and fun for your entire family.
