Skin Diver

This Skin Diver/Apnea certification course is a comprehensive program focused on snorkeling and breath-hold diving techniques.

The course offers a unique blend of training for a variety of participants, including swimmers, scuba divers, and those new to diving.

Skin Diving Overview

Skin diving, a form of beginner free diving, involves snorkeling while making breath-hold dives to observe aquatic life up close. It's an ideal way to explore the underwater world when you're unable to scuba dive, or if you prefer a lighter, more accessible way of diving. The NAUI Skin Diver course teaches you how to comfortably and safely explore underwater for short visits, whether you're diving in a local freshwater lake or the vast ocean, at home or on vacation at a dive destination. After completing the Skin Diver certification, you’ll have a solid foundation for progressing into the exciting world of free diving, opening the door to more advanced breath-hold diving experiences.
