Scuba Diving

Snuba diving
Technically, it stands for Surface Nexus Underwater Breathing Apparatus. To a vacationer, it stands for the thrill of SCUBA diving without the certification. Even better, Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys is one of the few places in the continental U.S. where you can experience SNUBA®.
