WHAT YOU VISIT
- Sea Trek Underwater Park
Supervised by a professionally trained Sea Trek guide, you'll see the sea like never before while learning about reef ecosystems and conservation. After a safety orientation, you'll don your "Jules Verne" type diving helmet, specially designed to keep your hair and face dry and to allow you to breathe naturally with cool and filtered air conditioned air. Then, you'll descend into the water and follow your guide on a stroll through an undersea garden pathway on a 300-foot-long loop, which takes you past both natural and artificial reefs, such as a submarine, canons salvaged from Fort Amsterdam and even a real helicopter. You can even interact with some of the local sea creatures along the way. You will find an abundance of fish while you are discovering the marine life of Little Bay!

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
One of the safety divers will be taking digital photos of the group underwater. After your Trek, you can view the photos and they will be available for purchase (cash please) on a USB memory stick.
