Snorkelling around Stone Town

Summary

Snorkelling with One Ocean Stone Town reflects the vibrant, busy hustle and bustle you find in the small streets of Stone Town. Here, coral grows in huge amounts: coral-gardens, long plunging walls, underwater mountains and wrecks interchange with each other, forming a haven for the many different kind of fish who live here. We offer half-day snorkelling trips with 2 sessions of snorkelling (45 minutes each) and a break on the boat with fresh fruit and local snacks as well as drinking water. A normal morning with us looks as follows: Meet at our diving centre. If not yet done, paperwork and payment as well as equipment fitting would have to be done before boat departure. 1st session: Diving or snorkelling for 45 minutes. break on the boat: Drinking water, snacks of local food and a seasonal platter of fruit are served. 2nd session: Diving or snorkelling for 45 minutes. Our boats return to the dive centres early afternoon. The price includes equipment rental (mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit) and a snorkel guide.  We have flotation devices on our boats but for safety and comfort reasons we don't take non-swimmers on our trips. The minimum age for children is 10 years. Minors have to be accompanied by a parent during the whole trip duration (in-water and on the boat).
