Snorkeling means swimming across the surface water with a snorkel, dive mask, and fins. The snorkel lets you see clearly under water, while the mask allows you the freedom to breathe underwater. It is much more relaxing than swimming, as you are able to relax and move freely while snorkeling. All equipment for snorkeling is included on a Shell Island Shuttle snorkel excursion.
We don't recommend that you dive underwater for more than two minutes without a full-face snorkel. Even if you're a seasoned snorkeler and are going out in great conditions, we do not recommend diving for longer than 2 minutes.
