What is SNUBA?

I know what you are thinking, nexus - what is a nexus? A nexus is a connection or link, which is exactly what SNUBA does.
SNUBA connects the surface with the wonders of the underwater world!
SNUBA is diving, so what is the difference between scuba diving and SNUBA diving?
SNUBA vs. Scuba
SNUBA diving uses the same equipment as scuba diving, but it's positioned differently to make trying diving safer and easier. With SNUBA there is no heavy equipment to wear. The heavy and awkward air cylinder goes into the patented SNUBA raft that floats on the surface and follows you whereever you go. The only things you wear are a lightweight harness, mask, scuba regulator, fins, and a weight belt to make you neutrally bouyant in the water. In scuba you must wear and learn to use a BCD (bouyancy compensation device) to help control your bouyancy, which changes throughout a dive as you ascend, descend and use the air in your tank. SNUBA divers are able to fine tune their weight to float in the water like an astronaut and swim along comfortably without worrying about sinking to fast, rocketing to the surface, or bouncing off of coral. All you have to do is enjoy your time underwater!
Speaking of sinking and coming to the surface. The SNUBA system allows for perfectly controlled ascents and descents using the air hose that attaches to the SNUBA raft. This same air hose also prevents divers from unknowingly descending further than 7 meters.
With over 3.5 million people having tried SNUBA in the last 20 years, SNUBA's safety record speaks for itself.
FACT - SNUBA is the world's safest way to try diving.
