Bahamas Snorkeling Blog

Advances in snorkeling equipment over the years have made Nassau snorkeling easier than ever, with more ergonomic tubes and sleeker fins. Surprisingly, however, these modern marvels of underwater engineering have ancient roots, and the history of snorkeling in the Bahamas can be traced back thousands of years, to a very different place and time.

Humans are innately curious and natural explorers. That exploration isn't limited to land - for tens of thousands of years, oceans and other large bodies of water have held great fascination to adventurers and scientists alike.

The history of snorkeling is a long and fascinating progression from the earliest days of the Greeks, all the way down to the modern age. This practice truly came of age in the 20th century.

During the Bahamas Snorkel Tours swimmers will be brought face to face with several amazing species of fish. Among these species is the spotted goatfish.

Whether you're just learning the ropes or doing some Nassau snorkeling, or Freeport snorkeling, fins are an essential piece of equipment you can't swim without.
