Underwater Sea Walk

Description

A unique and must do excursion, accessible to all, safe and easy.

Since 1995 Aquaventure continues to overwhelm thousands of people, including absolute Non Swimmers, people who never thought they would have their head under water and lots and lots of children as from 8 years old. No former experience or training is required.

Undersea walking or helmet diving, as it is often called, is for many a feeling of achievement, another first step, a dream come true, a whole lot of excitement and fun.
Experience the ultimate sensation where time stops, worries fade away and breathing underwater becomes possible!

The excursion begins with a short motorboat transfer from the famous beach of Belle Mare to a platform anchored inside the splendid lagoon in front of Long Beach Hotel. On the platform divers will receive a short pre departure briefing on the gear, the local marine life, on safety procedures and on the underwater walking trail. Then, with the help of the guide divers will enter the water up to their shoulders one by one through an opening within the platform. Here the helmet will be placed gently over their head. Next they will be assisted to descend the ladder up to a depth of 3-4 meters and will begin the 15-20 minute undersea walk in groups of max 6 persons. The 30 kg panoramic diving helmet weighs no more than a conventional motorcycle helmet under water and keeps your head dry, thus enabling you to keep your glasses or contact lenses on during the trip. A pipe connected to the surface tank provides a regular flow of air into the helmet and allows you to breathe normally. Swimming is not at all involved in undersea walking; therefore the activity is open to all non-swimmers.

Experienced divers assist in taking you underwater and accompany you throughout the entire walk to guarantee your maximum safety. Surface swimming monitors also watch over you at all times. The divers will benefit from our innovative air supply system consisting of a bank of diving bottles, which in turn delivers breathing air of an international quality standard. All diving equipment is systematically inspected and certified by accredited agents on a regular basis. Our air supply system allows us to be free from machineries such as compressors and generators on board and has therefore proved to be the most silent and least “CO2 free emissive” undersea walk operation on the island.
