You've got the perfect Caribbean getaway or honeymoon planned for the two of. There's just one problem: he's a diver and you're a non-diver. Have no fear: in the islands, you'll find several options that the two of you can explore together. Although he'll no doubt want a few scuba sessions (perfect for your spa break!), these water activities can give the two of you the chance to enjoy some fun on the water -- and even underwater--together.

Sea Trek

This underwater experience is great fun and doesn't require any swimming experience. You literally walk underwater, wearing a big diving helmet. (OK, the helmet's so-so looking but your hair stays dry!) For more, see our article on Sea Trek.

Tethered Scuba

For those curious about the undersea world but not ready to take the plunge for a full certification course, several outfits in the islands offer a tethered scuba experience to depths of 20 feet. In Grand Cayman and St. John, tethered scuba operators give you the option of shallow scuba diving. You’ll start with a simple class on use of the gear then wade out for a shallow water dive. At all times, you are connected to the air tank floating on the surface by a 20-foot tube. With this tube, you’ll breathe just like any other scuba diver.

Submarines

For more underwater fun, several islands are home to submarines that give you the chance to see beneath the waves without ever getting wet. Atlantis submarines, found on Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, Barbados, and Aruba, plunge to a depth of 100 feet below the surface.

On other islands, semi-submersible subs are another option. On these vessels, the boat never submerges but visitors walk down into a glass hull for a look at the undersea world. These are a good choice for the budget conscious and for those who think a closed hatch is just a little too much togetherness.

Snorkeling

If you've got a basic swimming knowledge, snorkeling can be great fun and an excellent introduction to the underwater beauty and rich marine life found in the Caribbean waters. Many scenic reefs can be enjoyed with equipment as limited as a mask and a snorkel.

Just yards from shore, you can enjoy a look at colorful corals, graceful fans, and fish like friendly sergeant majors, butterfly fish, and shy damselfish.

Most resorts offer snorkel equipment for little or no charge. To prevent your mask from fogging, rub saliva on the inside of your lenses. Dishwashing liquid and special alcohol-based non-fogging formulas may also be used.

Even non-swimmers can enjoy a look below the waves with snorkel gear. Don a mask, stand in the shallows, and just stick your head in the warm water for a look at another world just inches away.
