Scuba Diving
Having bottles of compressed air strapped to your body as you discover the depths is definitely the ideal way to go about this type of underwater exploration. However, due to the number of risks and the training requirements of this activity, scuba diving must be done only by those who are certified or accompanied by a proper guide during immersions.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling or free diving is a low-tech version of scuba diving that doesn’t really require any equipment but instead it does call for being in great shape. Even though the immersions are shorter in durations, they require less technical handling of equipment and therefore allow you to enjoy the views much better.
