FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why choose Snuba over Scuba or Snorkeling?
Snuba has less equipment & and limited depth, therefore it is safer easier, more available for younger children. Accesable people with diasbilities and those who just wishing to get closer to the critters without lengthy training involved.
How long can I stay underwater?
Average time is 45 minutes, however since people come in different "lung sizes" they breed air at a different rate. So an 8 child would last a lot longer than a 75 years old man...both would have the same amount of fun though...:o)
Why can't we use just a long snorkel to go deeper?
Pressure changes rapidly underwater. It effects our lungs by compressing the air inside it. Our lungs only works well if it is full of air at all times. We need to breed compressed air to fill it. The air we'd breed from a long snorkel would not have enough pressure to fill our lungs even at a few feet.
