Learn To Snorkel With Scuba Adventures

The SDI Snorkeler Diver Course is designed to give students the necessary skills to efficiently snorkel in conditions similar to their training without the direct supervision of an instructor. 

What is Snorkeling?

Snorkeling is the use of mask fins and snorkel to primarily swim on the surface while being able to keep your face in the water without having to lift your head to breathe. Periodically you may dive below the surface for a short period of time to exam something closer.

What is the Snorkeling Course?

The Snorkeling Course is designed to teach participants the basics of snorkeling, including proper equipment use, breathing techniques, and surface swimming skills. It’s perfect for individuals or families who want to explore the underwater world comfortably from the surface. The course focuses on safety, technique, and enhancing your underwater experience.

When are snorkeling classes scheduled at Scuba Adventures Plano?

Snorkeling classes at Scuba Adventures Plano are scheduled based on demand and instructor availability. Because we have our own 16-foot-deep pool, we can be accommodating with scheduling as long as it doesn’t conflict with other events. We typically offer sessions on weekends or select weekdays. If you're interested in learning to snorkel or improving your skills, contact us to check the upcoming schedule or arrange a private session.

Do I need prior snorkeling experience to take this course?

No prior snorkeling experience is required. The course is designed for anyone interested in trying snorkeling, regardless of their experience level.

How long does the course take to complete?

The course is typically completed in one day, with a 2.5-3 hour session in the pool under the supervision of a certified instructor.

What is included in the course fee?

The course fee includes all the necessary snorkeling equipment for the pool session, professional instruction, and an overview of basic scuba safety and techniques.

What should I bring to the course?

You should bring a swimsuit, towel, and any personal snorkel gear if you prefer to use your own. All other equipment will be provided.

Is this course suitable for children?

Yes, this course is family-friendly and suitable for participants as young as 6 years old. Children must meet the minimum medical and safety requirements.

Will I become a certified snorkeler after completing this course?

Yes, upon completing the Snorkeling Course, you will receive a certification recognizing your proficiency in snorkeling skills and safety procedures. This certification demonstrates that you have learned the necessary techniques to snorkel safely and confidently.

Is the course safe for people with no prior snorkeling experience?

Yes, the course is designed for beginners and includes a thorough safety briefing with professional supervision. It takes place in a controlled environment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. You should be comfortable swimming; however, please note that this course is not intended to provide swim lessons.

Can I apply what I learn in this course to future scuba certifications?

Yes, the skills and knowledge you gain in this course will give you a solid foundation and boost your confidence when pursuing full scuba certification.

What happens if I feel uncomfortable during the course?

We prioritize your comfort and individual journey. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, our instructors will work closely with you to address your concerns and adjust the pace to suit your needs. The course is designed to be supportive, allowing you to build confidence in a safe and encouraging environment. Your well-being and personal growth are our top priorities.

Are there any medical requirements or refund policies for the Snorkeling Course?

Yes, while snorkeling is not the same as scuba diving and does not carry all the associated risks, it can still be a strenuous activity with inherent risks. You will be required to complete a medical form, which can be found here. Please note that the class is non-refundable unless a physician provides a medical denial based on your conditions. This policy ensures the safety and readiness of all participants.

I can’t recommend this place enough. After moving to the area, I read a lot of reviews and emailed several dive shops before going with Scuba Adventures. I choose them because they were the most responsive and helpful. The owners seem to not only be great divers but have business backgrounds. This is the most focus on customer service I have seen in a dive shop. Good inventory with all of the brands I could ask for. On point with their pricing. If you do find a better price they will work with you.

I ended up taking the Rescue Diver course and had a blast! I just got back from a dive trip with them at Lake Travis, very enjoyable. They also have one of the only indoor pools (18 ft.) in the area.

At Scuba ranch they have a big spot that is one of the easiest to get to and a nice pavilion for training. They are right next to the air refill station, which I love! Family and friends are welcome at the ranch. Good community there on weekends and you'll most likely find a dive buddy for a fun dive.

Scuba Adventures and their staff are beyond amazing! Their Plano store has a very wide selection of equipment and the pool is 18ft deep! Their Scuba Ranch location is amazing and still growing, with plenty of room and seating. I’m a fairly new diver and all the instructors do an amazing job of making me feel safe and secure deep underwater. Their staff is always very helpful and I can’t wait to continue my diving knowledge and certificates with them.

Found a great diving shop for all my gear. Been living here in texas for awhile and this shop has just what I needed. Really recommend scuba adventure for all your gear.

Went in last week to pick out goggles for an upcoming trip— loved the selection of masks they had available! Ended up picking out a hot pink pair to shamelessly match the other accessories I’d picked out.

The new owners are the greatest! Their positive approach towards people and the sport of diving are huge part of the reason I love the sport. When they told me they were going to open a dive shop; I knew without a doubt I was going to be their customer. I have taken several dive adventures with them and other scuba diving misfits, and plan on taking many more.

Decided to revisit this shop since it is under new management. Already impressed with the facility improvements - by far the best training pool I have seen. Looking forward to the roll out of the full training curriculum - will be able to go from open water certified through all kinds of technical specialties. Good dive gear selection. Owners really have a great vision for promoting scuba diving and ocean adventures.

This is the shop with the most experienced and competent personnel in the metroplex. Their commitment to safe, enjoyable and professional instruction is obvious from the first time you enter the store and meet the staff and owners. I have dove with most of them over the years and know first hand the love of diving they have and now share with the community as the new team. They are knowledgeable and up to date with the latest dive info. Don't miss a chance to dive with them.

In January 2020, Scuba Adventures was purchased by divers that were affiliated with a different scuba store. These same divers taught me to dive, and got me to fall in love with scuba diving (despite me being pretty scared to start). I trust them, enough that I opted to take a trip with them to Cozumel for diving in 2019. It was one of the best trips of my life, and now I'm already signed up for their Costa Rica dive trip in 2020 with Scuba Adventures. I haven't visited the shop yet, but I can 100% vouch for the new owners--they are knowledgeable divers, good people, and all around amazing.

Owners and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Allowed me to try backplate and wing set up in the pool. They did not pressure me to buy anything, but gave great information on products and financing options. All in all great staff and would recommend them to anyone!!!

Great customer service, from the owners to the employees. Very knowledgeable about everything and anything pertaining to scuba diving. The instructors are highly educated and experienced in scuba diving. They put you through real life scenarios, so you know and understand what to do in the event something happens while you are under water. My family and I learned a lot about scuba diving in a very short amount of time. We will definitely keep taking additional courses with Scuba Adventures as we progress. We definitely reccomend Scuba Adventures to anyone wanting to learn and get scuba diving certified.
