Most people are familiar with snorkeling and SCUBA diving, but few people are aware of a hybrid of the two: snuba. Snuba utilizes a diving mask, fins, weights and a regulator, just like SCUBA diving. Instead of carrying an air take on your back, however, the air is kept onboard a watercraft. A hose is then connected to the regulator, allowing for more comfortable underwater exploration.
On my last trip to Hawaii, I had the opportunity to snuba Maui for a few hours. Having both snorkeled and dived in Hawaii before, I have to say that snuba is a happy medium. While I didn’t have the freedom I was accustomed to with my SCUBA equipment, I was able to explore creatures well below the surface. And it was a great opportunity to experience the underwater life with my finance, who isn’t diving certified.
