Snorkeling Beginning Class 2010 Details
Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii
September 1-7, 2010
Have you dreamt of snorkeling? Have you tried it while you were afraid? Want to feel comfortable in the ocean instead? Learn to be in control and comfortable in salt water, to feel the ocean hold you up, to see beautiful fish and magnificent creatures, to be at ease in water that moves, to be at home with snorkeling equipment, and if you're ready, to be free in open water. Make yourself safe! Start with flat, protected water and add incrementally more diverse conditions at your own pace over the course of the week or two weeks.
Learn the basics in a small shallow salt water lagoon.
Taking the Snorkeling class provides significantly more comfort and confidence in the ocean than simply taking our Beginning class in the pool.
Price includes course, shared oceanfront condo with one classmate, and transportation to classes and grocery store. Air fare and meals not included. Bring your own mask, fins snorkel and wetsuit, or rent in Kona.
To take the Snorkeling class, you only need to be able to float and to stand up (back and front) from the float in a pool. We'll teach you how to snorkel and be in control in the ocean. If you don't know how to float and unfloat, take our introductory class or Beginning class first.
