Snorkeling Program

Snorkeling from a boat, in great comfort allows you to go further away from the island and be a little more adventurous. The boat will always drift along with the snorkelers and you can get onboard whenever you like. There are 2 reefs on this excursion, so you can enjoy different locations and rift effortlessly among the colourful tropical fish teeming around rocky shelf and corals. Experienced snorkel guide will join you and capture this underwater memory for you with a digital camera.

Night snorkeling : When night falls the sea becomes alive, allowing snorkelers to see many species that cannot be seen during the day. The coral seems much more alive, colourful and softer at night, besides by watching them under your light, you restore their natural colours. Another interesting thing to observe while night snorkeling is the way the micro marine life glows. Stirring the water in front of you can create this luminescence. The Baros House Reef is a perfect setting to do a night snorkel tour. It is sheltered and thus makes it a delightful and safe experience.

Marine Biology educational snorkeling : A special snorkel tour dedicated to learning and observing about Indian Ocean Marine life. You will be given a pre-snorkel talk by the Resident Marine Biologist including a slide show presentation, identifying the most common species seen on this tour. Once in the water the Marine Biologist will point out the Marine Life and capture this underwater memory for you with a digital camera. After the tour the Marine Biologist is delighted to show and discuss the pictures to identify the Marine Life.
