patterson3 Posted November 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Good afternoon everyone! I'll be in Barbados in February and was hoping to do a snorkel with turtles/shipwreck excursion but I wanted to know which companies, if any, do NOT require you to wear a life vest/snorkel vest? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted November 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2010 They are available on Calabaza but are not required. I highly recommend them - we had a great time with them in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishpastyman1 Posted November 4, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I think they are always available but not mandatory to wear for near-the-boat snorkelling/swimming. Our boat operators seemed fairly relaxed about the whole thing. If you are going to ride a banana boat or Big Mabel like on the first bit of this they might insist, as there's a theoretical chance that you could fall off and be detached from the towboat for a few seconds. Turtles/snorkelling/wreck-viewing is a super experience and I'm sure you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patterson3 Posted November 4, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thank you both very much. I had contacted a couple operators including Ocean Adventure and was told they were required, so I was getting worried. Good to know I have other options!
