Bali Seawalker is an underwater activity that offers everyone an
opportunity to enjoy an underwater experience with the minimum of
equipment. The ‘walks’ utilize a specially-designed helmet that is
connected to oxygen tanks aboard a boat, providing participants with a
constant flow of air to breathe underwater.
Participants with
prescription lenses need not take their glasses off to enjoy the
activity due to the convenient helmets, and will remain dry from the
chin up throughout the tour. Depths are approximately seven metres,
where you will soon be able to observe colourful schools of fish, coral
reefs and marine life. Bali Seawalker operates at two main sites; off
Sanur and Tanjung Benoa.
The underwater tours take approximately 30 minutes, and the standard
package usually includes hotel transfers for a minimum of two persons,
refreshments and soft drinks, Seawalker gear, Japanese standard safety
equipment, certified and experienced guides and insurance coverage.
The
Seawalker tours can be enjoyed by all ages from 10 years up. No diving
experience or swimming skills are necessary. The tour is an eye-opener
for those with no prior underwater experience, and it also provides
participants the opportunity to interact with marine life.
It is
an extraordinary approach that makes it easy to discover the underwater
realm without having to deal with bulky diving gear. Guides provide full
instructions before setting out to sea and taking the plunge.
Upon
arriving at the sea walking spot, participants lower themselves down a
side ladder and guides help put on the special shoulder padding and
helmets. Soon after reaching the bottom, beautiful reef formations and
varieties of tropical fish become visible. On certain occasions, large
swarms of fish gather and even obstruct views due to their large
numbers.
