Snorkel First

Nekton Diving Cruises welcomes you aboard to discover the underwater world by participating in our Snorkel First program. What better way to spend your vacation than floating in warm, clear water above beautiful coral gardens teeming with colorful tropical fish? With Nekton's Snorkel First program, beginners to experienced snorkelers can enjoy the turquoise water and the underwater sites throughout the Caribbean. You'll also enjoy special attention from one of Nekton's professionally trained "snorkel pros."

Prior to each snorkel excursion, the snorkel pro will brief you about the site you will explore. Next, since the Nekton's live-aboards are moored on dives sites typically too deep for snorkeling, you'll travel to shallower snorkel sites in one of Nekton's twin-vee tenders. These special tenders were selected specifically for the Snorkel First program as they provide an incredibly dry and stable ride. Once at the snorkel site, you may join the snorkel pro for a guided tour or explore the area on your own with your buddy.

During your week-long snorkeling adventure with Nekton, you'll discover a diversity of underwater beauty. The sites included among Nekton's itineraries range from shallow ship wrecks to beautiful coral gardens to snorkeling with wild spotted dolphins.

For example, while snorkeling the Wreck of the Hesperus, you'll see thick schools of french grunts, spade fish and several resident loggerhead turtles. San Salvador's "Columbus Courtyard" offers pristine coral heads with reef critters tucked in the nooks and crannies. At Water Cay, you can explore a small airplane wreck and cuts and tunnels of the island. And a special day at the White Sand Ridge features the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of interacting with wild spotted dolphins.

When you participate in Snorkel First, you will truly experience a unique, active, relaxing and adventurous vacation.
