Snorkeling

[#1donaldfan]

I'm not sure if this question has been posted, however I was wanting to know or get feedback on the extra SAS Adventure snorkeling if it was worth it?? ....and... can someone explain it in greater detail than what I've read about it, which equates to you sign up for it at the front of the park, you get an overview of the pony tank, assisted breather, and have up to 30 minutes swimming @ 20$ per.

I'm not sure which one you're talking about, but my DW and DD did the SAS adventure in the large tank in the Living Seas a couple of years ago. It was a very memorable experience.

First they show you a 'training' film, and show you the equipment. You get suited up and then walk on-stage through the Living Seas building to the central stairway tube. You get your equipment and are allowed to free swim through the main part of the tank (you are cautioned not to go near the dolphin enclosure). I am usually terrified of being under water, but after about 5-10 minutes, I trusted the air thingy and enjoyed myself.
There was one teenager in our group that flipped out, and almost left, but the cast members were great and by the end of the experience, the girl had had a great time.

We try to do one 'experience' with each trip and this was definitely one of the most memorable.

I am not sure where they do it, but read it's available for $20 per half hour ??

That might be snorkeling in one of the lakes/pools. The Living Seas experience is definitely more than $20.
