Anyone SNUBAed on Cozumel?

[my3kids]

If you did arrange an excursion on your own to try out SNUBA, which tour company did you arrange through? Do you remember the cost?

I can't help you with Cozumel, but we did snuba on St Thomas. It was the hardest thing I've done in a long time. I was glad it was just my hubby and I, since it took me a good 15 minutes to get the hang of the breathing. I don't think its something most people can just "do". I really didn't think after the first 5 minutes that I'd be able to do it. Keith took to it right away, but I had trouble with it.

You'll have to let us know how you liked it when you get back. Our guide was great, and while she was supportive, I think she wanted to get going while I was having my mild panic attacks at first.

If you want to see our photos, I'll send you the link, just PM me!

Oh no! I never thought of it requiring coordination. I'm about as uncordinated as they come....I might need to think about this some more!

yeah, you need to breathe OUT longer than you breathe in....not something you do every day!!

The theory is that since you're breathing in air under pressure, it gets into your lungs faster than when you breathe normally. And you have to PUSH the air out, rather than just exhaling.....

How many people are going? I'm sure you'll get the lesson before they have you going out very far! You just have to pay attention!! Good luck with the coordination thing, I understand!
