I hadn't seen this mentioned very much on this forum, but wanted to share my recent experience with this.
For those unaware, Snuba is basically in between snorkeling and scuba diving. The air supply sits in a raft at the surface, and an air line runs down to a regulator for you to breathe through. My daughter wanted to do a number of activities at MOC one morning, so I decided to solo it on a Trilogy Ka'anapali snorkel tour (Honolua Bay), opting for the Snuba package - worth every penny.
Trilogy has the longest Snuba lines at 20', which allowed us to get right down to the bottom of most of the reef at Honolua Bay. This was my very first time diving, and it was pretty easy, so much so that it has given me the will to take scuba classes and get certified.
Our Snuba instructor, Aaron, took us out pretty far, just around Papua Gulch, since we were all doing great with our air. And when we got to the honu cleaning station, we were in for a real and rare treat:
It's hard to argue that seeing humpback whales in Maui isn't the most amazing experience on the water, but this was pretty close for me. Simply incredible.
I would highly recommend Snuba to anyone who enjoys the water.
