SNOOKA is a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving, however SNOOKA offers the simplicity and safety of snorkeling without the need to get certified to go scuba diving.
"SNOOKA" is a shallow water diving system, bridging the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving by allowing users to breath surface air from a hose that extends from the surface down to 20 feet.

Snooka is safe and easy and does not require certification like scuba diving. Even those who are not strong swimmers or are first time snorkelers can enjoy the Snokka experience. Snooka is easily accessible to all over eight years and older, though there is a program called Snooka-Doo that allows those four years or older to experience Snooka. It's also a way for a certified diver to introduce non-certified partners to the underwater breathing experience perhaps leading to full scuba certification.
Though Snooka uses compressed air, users do not have to worry about decompression issues (the bends) because of the relative shallow depth (less than an atmosphere) and tour duration. What makes Snooka safe is the minimal complication of equipment, connection to the surface and fully guided tour over pre-surveyed "Snooka Trails". And just like a scuba diver you should not hold your breath while under the water and descend and ascend slowly. Slow ascents and descents will allow your ears (and lungs) to pressurize/ajust just like in an airplane.
Snooka diving allows you maximum freedom of movement and full control. You breathe using a standard diving regulator, which is connected by a 20-foot air line to a scuba tank that floats on the surface of the water in a specially designed raft. As you move about underwater, the raft follows you, allowing you to dive to a maximum depth of 20 feet.There is no heavy diving gear.
