Private Adult Snorkeling Practice

MidCoast Scuba Center's private adult snorkeling practices are conducted on a private, one on one basis to fit your schedule in one of our warm indoor practice pools.

One of our Professional Instructors / DiveControl Specialists will assure your comfort and confidence while practicing and learning snorkeling skills and techniques.

Our Pro's will assist you in the proper selection of the right snorkeling equipment; mask, fins (you will prefer the new split fin designs for ease of moving through the water), and introduce you to dry snorkels, which will remedy half of the problems associated with learning to snorkel properly, in comfort and with confidence.

 

Snorkeling is a great way to see what's under 75% of the earth's surface!

The following are situations we hear about all to often;

You are all excited, going on your first Caribbean trip and plan to snorkel for the first time. You sign up for a snorkel trip and realize the mask and snorkel you are issued do not fit all that well. Not only that they have been used by many people before you and never sanitized.  Just the thought of wearing what others have had on their face and in their mouth. Yuk!  The mask keeps leaking, you can't keep water out of the snorkel and the fins rub blisters on your feet. The fish and coral reefs are so beautiful......but it just isn't worth it.  S T O P the waste of your vacation opportunity.

It doesn't have to be this way! While these are problems that are all too common, we have the remedy. Come in and see us today and plan to have a beautiful, comfortable, relaxed snorkeling experience.

Get in some practice with the Pro's at MidCoast Scuba and Snorkel Center before you go.
