Snorkeling excursion in Santa Maria, Azores

Organized by
1 half day
Occasionally sporty
From€60

Come and explore the abundance of underwater fauna and flora with this fun snorkelling excursion.

Learn to observe the underwater world from the surface with fun filled snorkelling excursions. You will be taught about the local history thanks to your experienced guide who will take you out to the most adequate places.

Lean the technique of skin diving, which is snorkelling with a twist - you have to hold your breath (similar to apnea) so you can observe the peaceful aquatic life, up close and personal.

During this session you can practice both snorkelling and skin diving - there's no better way to explore the underwater world when you’re not able to scuba dive or if scuba diving just isn’t your thing. You'll learn how to become comfortable underwater while watching life below the surface for short visits. Whether you want to dive in a local freshwater lake or the big blue ocean - the techniques are all the same.

You'll spend the day around Santa Maria, exploring the subaquatic world and its wonderful marine species.

You will complete two snorkelling sessions, each of which will last an hour.

No ha habido experiencia similar en mi vida anteriormente. Poder nadar con animales como mantas en su hábitat natural ha sido brutal.
