Experience the thrill of watersports in Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), where crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life await. Dive into exciting adventures like snorkelling, scuba diving and jet skiing suitable for both swimmers and non-swimmers.
Sea walking offers you an opportunity to walk the ocean floor with a specially made helmet that keeps your head dry. You are attached to a support boat and led along so there is no need for swimming or diving.
No, there is no requirement of swimming skills. The participants stand up on the sea bed and are held with the help of air-filled helmets thus making it to be fine even to non-swimmers.
The age of many of the ages is generally safe in sea walking though there are age restrictions that differ depending on the operator. They normally require children to be accompanied by an adult and it is all done by briefing the staff before the activity commences.
While walking on the sea, one may observe reef fish of various colors, star-fish, small coral reefs, and other marine organisms that live in the shallow waters. Although there is scarcity of deeper sea animals, there is still a close up underwater interaction.
One of the most common ones is a safety briefing and sea walking with a guide that lasts 15-30 minutes. The whole procedure, including installation, can take approximately 45-60 minutes.
The air-filled sea walking helmet will keep your head dry, but wet your body and clothes. It is recommended to wear comfortable swimwear or quick-dry clothes.
Other operators provide photographs and videos of your walk on the sea at an extra fee. This can be organized with the assistance of Hostel Nemo employees when they are asked beforehand.
Bring swimwear or quick-drying clothing, shoes that are comfortable, and reef-safe sunscreen. Bringing a towel, water bottle and change of clothes (dry ones) is also good.
Sea walking is based on sea conditions. In case the water is rough or there is poor visibility, the sessions can be postponed or cancelled due to safety reasons. The operator will inform you with other options where necessary.
