Snorkeling & Diving
As diverse and engaging as the landscapes above it, the undersea world is a treasure to behold. Our snorkeling and diving expeditions include some of the most pristine underwater environments in the world, from remote, and never explored before, coral reefs, to Palau and Yap, hailed as the “number one underwater wonder of the world” for its marine diversity and beauty. You might choose a diving expedition in the Seychelles’ Aldabra Atoll (the world’s second largest coral atoll) or a snorkeling adventure over the black-volanic-sand ocean floor near Vanuatu in search of clownfish, soldierfish, and brilliantly-hued wrasses. While in the Galápagos Islands, our snorkeling expeditions bring us within reach of sea lions, tropical and subtropical fish, and possibly even hammerhead sharks. Or, in the Maldives, glimpse whale sharks near the South Ari Atoll or dive down to explore forgotten wrecks near Fesdu.
As with all Zegrahm expeditions, our diving and snorkeling adventure travel excursions are accompanied by expert dive masters and marine biologists, who share their knowledge of the abundant marine life and unique underworld environments we visit. And, what’s more, our diving and snorkeling expeditions through the trip are complimentary for our travelers! All necessary equipment for snorkeling is provided; divers are asked to bring their own gear. Join us, whether you’re an avid diver or snorkeler, or even if you are new to snorkeling, and we will show you a marvelous undersea world.
The itineraries we offer vary from year to year; below please find our upcoming snorkeling- and diving-focused expeditions.
