Lake Snorkeling Activity

A Lake Snorkel Information Sheet

After you have completed the snorkeling sessions of pool training, it is time to head to the lake for a snorkeling activity!  

We complete our Snorkeling Activity at Saguaro Lake to give the students preparation for a dive trip.  Open Water Certification are not completed in the Local Lakes because the visibility is just too murky.  Most divers feel uncomfortable diving in water where you cannot see your fins!  We will take you to the Ocean where the water visibility is consistently clear, beautiful animals await, and have a great time!

Don't forget to pick up your Tonto National Forrest Parking Pass from Either Scuba Sciences' location!

Lake Vs. Ocean Water

 

There is no comparison, is there?!

We will carpool/caravan from our Metro Location 1 hour prior to our scheduled start time at Saguaro Lake.
