Is snorkeling safe for non swimmers?

8 reasons why non-swimmers can snorkel!

Can you snorkel without knowing how to swim? Do you have to be able to swim to snorkel? Can non-swimmer snorkel?

Here are 8 reasons why non-swimmers are able to go snorkeling:

  1. The biggest challenge is to beat the fear to the water. Once we have achieved this, we're half way there. In Total Snorkel Cancun, we believe is all about trust, and trust takes time. To be patient and to respect everyone's own times is a must

  2. Once understanding this, a shallow waters area is needed to offer the briefing, where non- swimmers feel safe and open to listening to any instruction. In Total Snorkel Cancun, we offer a useful briefing/lesson before getting on board.

  3. A key part to feel safe is the equipment. Everyone will try the gear before getting offshore. We won't leave until you feel 100% comfortable with what you're wearing. Learn more about our equipment in our video here.

  4. No floating skills? No problem, lifevest is included. Once again, you are able to try that in-shore, standing in shallow water. Learn more about our life vests here

  5. Groups should be small to guarantee personal attention. In Total Snorkel Cancun we have an average of 6 people per group with 3 staff per boat.

  6. The guides should always wear a wheel (life preserver) where non-swimmers and beginners can hang at any time. There's nothing more important for a non-swimmer than feeling safe, and with someone close who they can trust
