SNUBA – The Perfect Bridge Between Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Imagine combining the ease of snorkeling with the thrill of scuba diving. That’s SNUBA®.
SNUBA® lets you breathe underwater and explore beneath the surface without bulky equipment or certification requirements. It’s the perfect way to experience the underwater world, whether it’s your first time or you’re looking for a more relaxed alternative to scuba diving.
Instead of carrying a heavy air tank on your back, your air supply floats comfortably on the surface aboard a specially designed SNUBA® raft. A 20-foot air hose connects you to the raft, allowing you to breathe naturally through a standard scuba regulator while you swim, dive, and explore at your own pace.
With the weight of traditional scuba gear removed, you’re free to glide effortlessly through crystal-clear waters, descend as deep as 20 feet, or simply hover just below the surface, whatever feels most comfortable for you. Enjoy the vibrant marine life, incredible coral reefs, and the freedom to stay underwater longer than snorkeling allows.
Simply put, SNUBA® gives you the best of both worlds: the simplicity of snorkeling and the unforgettable adventure of scuba diving, without the certification, without the heavy gear, and with all the wonder waiting just beneath the surface.
TRAINED GUIDES MAKE THE SNUBA® EXPERIENCE TRULY UNIQUE
To someone who’s never dived before, breathing underwater can feel uncomfortable. That changes the moment a trusted SNUBA® Guide is by their side. Each SNUBA® Guide is certified and professionally trained and with you every step of the way – from the time you check in at your SNUBA® location to the moment you’ve finished your tour. Enter Clevlon Charles, the top SNUBA® salesman across all Sandals and Beaches Resorts for 2025 and a reassuring underwater guardian for countless guests.
Described as reassuring and kind, Clevlon’s journey has been one of determination and growth. He began his career at Sandals Grenada in 2015 in the housekeeping department before transitioning to the watersports team as a beach attendant. In 2023, he completed training as a SNUBA® Guide. Since taking on the role of lead SNUBA® Guide, both sales and guest participation have increased year over year.
When demonstrating and connecting with our guests in the pool first, they see how easy it is. The next step is encouraging them into the ocean. Most visitors coming to Grenada have heard about the Underwater Sculpture Park and want this once-in-a-lifetime experience. I enlighten them that the best way to see it up close and comfortably is with SNUBA®. – Clevlon Charles
THE ENTIRE SANDALS GRENADA SNUBA® TEAM IS SECOND TO NONE!
“I am incredibly proud of our SNUBA® Guides,” said Curtis Bailey, Sandals Grenada Watersports Manager. “Clevlon and Troy consistently go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels confident, safe and excited. Their dedication, professionalism and passion for what they do elevate the entire watersports experience at Sandals Grenada.“
Baily went on to state, “Seeing guests progress from SNUBA® to full SCUBA certification is one of the most rewarding parts of our job,” added Bailey. “It shows that with the right support and encouragement, they can achieve something they may have once thought impossible or very difficult to do.“
While SNUBA® is not a certification program, it offers an exciting way to experience breathing underwater and explore the ocean with ease. For many guests at Sandals Grenada Resort, SNUBA® has been the perfect first step toward earning a SCUBA certification, making the transition to certified diving both natural and enjoyable.
This commitment to growth is reflected in the Guides themselves. Through dedication, perseverance, and continuous professional development, Clevlon Charles and Troy John have both earned their SCUBA Instructor certifications. This significant milestone not only marks the next step in their own professional journeys but also empowers them to mentor and certify the next generation of SNUBA® instructors, ensuring the program’s continued success.
Their expertise is especially meaningful at Grenada’s renowned Molinière Underwater Sculpture Park, where beginner-friendly SNUBA® provides an ideal introduction to the underwater world. As two of the program’s most accomplished guides, Clevlon Charles and Troy John have helped countless nervous first-time participants build confidence from the pool to the sculpture park, transforming apprehension into unforgettable underwater experiences. Each successful dive is both a personal achievement for the visitor and a reflection of the guides’ dedication, skill, and passion.
