Under the supervision of certified Snuba guides, divers can explore exotic marine life uninterrupted; there is no need to surface for air or tussle with bulky equipment. After a pre-dive orientation, tour begins from a gently sloping beach and descends to a maximum depth of 20 feet. Divers choose your depth of comfort. « less

I loved snuba because it was much different from snorkling because it let you go down to 20 ft under water and i saw much more fishes and creatures than i did snorkling. And i would definitly do back and do it.

I've always been terrified with the idea of scuba diving. The possibility of my lungs collapsing, or whatever awful thing can happen if you surface too fast, is scary as hell to me. Even the idea of snuba scared me, but my wife talked me into at least trying it. "When in St. Lucia..." our motto was for the week,... More

My husband and I did the Snuba tour through Island Routes at Sandals La Toc. We left La Toc and ended up driving around the island for over an hour before we actually got to the place - which was a 5 minute walk from Sandals Grande - which we could have taken a Sandals shuttle to in 30 minutes....

I wasn’t overly impressed maybe because I had difficulty not floating to the top and my ears popped the entire time. I just don’t think Snuba is for me. I didn’t like the bubbles and I felt like it took away from the experience. I much prefer regular snorkeling. DH on the other hand loved it. He was going everywhere... More

This was the first time my husband and I did a snuba tour. We were a little nervous at first but our guide Starfish was amazing! He took the time to explain everything and make sure we were comfortable before going under. We brought an underwater camera and he offered to take it to get some close ups of us... More

We booked the Snuba at Pigeon Island through the Carnival Valor for our honeymoon cruise. AMAZING!! I have always wanted to learn to scuba dive and was surprised I did so well at snuba. It was not hard at all, thanks to great instruction by "Blue Marlin" and our awesome guide "Cocopuffs!" Our underwater camera got water in it and... More

It was the perfect introduction to the underwater world for my children ages 8 & 10 beyond snorkeling. We had a wonderful guide (Judge Judy). Equipment worked well. It was safe and relaxing. We were able to see a small spotted eel, starfish, many colorful fish, different types of coral, octopus, spiny sea urchin and a sea horse!!!!!! As an... More

Staff, equipment and location were all excellent. I just did not personally get on with snuba. The near-constant stream of gas bubbles blasting past my ears made the whole event stressful, I'm sorry to say. Snube is not for everybody.

I also went on this as a cruise excursion and found it very enjoyable - each group was allocated to an experienced guide, in our case Dragon Fish, who sorted our equipment and led us through the water, and made us feel very secure. It is genuinely like scuba diving except that you are connected to your air tank that... More
