In-Water Comfort

Snorkelers enter the water in groups based on ability

Marco Polo Group

You can play tag in the deep end of the pool for a long time.

We recommend getting in the water first to maximize enjoyment.

2. Casual Group

You comfortably jump in and belly float face down in the deep end of the pool, but swimming makes you tired.

We recommend renting a wetsuit or wearing a flotation belt for comfort. Our crew will offer this before entering the water.

3. Cautious Group

You hesitate before jumping in or floating face down in the deep end of the pool.

We advise renting a wetsuit, wearing a flotation belt, and using a pool noodle to help you float comfortably. Our crew will offer this before entering the water.
