Siargao Seascooter: Powered Snorkeling at Cloud 9 Coral Garden

Hold the handles, press the trigger, and the seascooter pulls you over a living coral garden, past fish, through clear water, as deep or as shallow as you want. No diving skills, no experience, no boat. Just the reef, right behind our shop next to Cloud 9. What to expect You arrive at our shop in General Luna, right next to the Cloud 9 boardwalk. We give you a 2-minute tutorial on shore: two buttons, hold to go, release to stop. That's it. Anyone can learn it in under a minute. We hand you your mask, snorkel, life vest if you want one, and reef shoes. Then we walk you 50 metres to the entry point and show you the route to follow over the reef. You're on your own from there, at your own pace, no group, no guide hovering. Stay near the surface and watch the coral from above, or dive down and chase fish through the deeper sections. The machine floats on its own and stays attached to your wrist with a leash, so you can stop anytime to look around or take photos. Mount your phone or GoPro on the seascooter and film everything hands-free (bring a waterproof case for your phone, we provide the mount).
