A Typical SeaTREK Tour

A typical SeaTREK helmet diving tour consists of the following:

Qualify for the tour:

  • At least 8 years of age or older
  • In good health or cleared by a physician to participate (you are required to complete and sign a brief Participant Record & Liability Release Form)
  • Be comfortable in the water*

* SeaTREK requires no swimming, previous experience, or specialized skills. Guests simply need to be comfortable in the water.

Orientation & Safety Briefing:

  • Listen and participate in a 10-minute orientation and safety briefing
  • Your Guide will review the SeaTREK helmet, ladder descent, ear equalization techniques, proper breathing, hand signals for underwater communication, and more

Water Entry:

  • You will descend the ladder until the water is at shoulder level. A surface attendant will then lower the helmet onto your shoulders; you will continue to descend the ladder, step-by-step, with the aid of the safety diver or SeaTREK Guide.
  • Your SeaTREK helmet receives a continuous supply of air (3x more than what you normally breathe). Your entire head remains dry, you can wear glasses or prescription contacts, and you’re able to breathe normally through your nose (no mouthpiece)
  • Every couple of steps, you will need to equalize the pressure in your ears (similar to flying in an airplane or swimming in a pool). The helmet is designed to allow you to reach your hand up inside the helmet, pinch your nose and gently blow to easily equalize your ears. If for some reason you cannot properly equalize, you can go back up the ladder several steps, and try again

Have Fun!

  • Once at the bottom of the ladder. The tour begins once the entire group is on the sea floor
  • Your SeaTREK Guide and safety divers will be with you for the entire tour. You’ll walk underwater along a preset SeaTREK trail for a once-in-a-lifetime experience
  • During the tour, fish of all shapes and colors, and local marine life will surround you. Underwater cameras are allowed on most tours; your SeaTREK tour may also include a professional photographer/videographer
  • Underwater tour duration is approximately 25-minutes
