About this experience

Breathe naturally and take in the beauty of the surrounding scenery! You will be able to walk and breathe on the bottom of the Caribbean sea, just like on the surface.

You’ll transported by boat to our platform in the middle of water where you will be welcome by our enthusiastic team, our guided will explain the the tour and divide the group in two, while some of you will enjoy snorkeling for 30 minutes and the other group will enjoy the Sea Trek for 30 minutes. At the end of the snorkeling session, we will return our gear and get ready to enjoy the Sea Trek, while the other group does the opposite.

Once you are ready to do the Sea Trek, you will descend 2 to the seabed. This descent is little by little by a ladder with 20 steps (20 ft), so you become familiarized with the water environment and the use of the Sea Trek helmet. Once you reach the bottom, you will be guided by a path marked by railings, for a more comfortable underwater walk.
