Why take this tour?

New Skills As you gain confidence in the water, you might want to start to pushing your limits and seeing what more you can achieve. With this in mind, it is important to expand your knowledge and understanding to keep safe in the water. Equalizing Pressure under the water increases as we descend so it is important to learn how to balance this pressure. Holding your Breath Increasing your breath-hold time takes practice - you don't have to be in the water to train! Clearing your Snorkel There are a few different ways of clearing a snorkel, once you crack the technique you'll be much more comfortable.
