Jumping into the frigid waters of the Antarctic to swim with the penguins, seals, icebergs, shipwrecks, and more. Check out what life is like taking snorkeling zodiac excursions off an expedition cruise ship twice a day in this vlog. With water temperatures below freezing, dry suits are mandatory and getting ready is a whole process, but that just contributes to the adventure. Thanks to the crew of the Greg Mortimer and Aurora Expeditions overall for this amazing experience.
Check out the video on the rest of the expedition too: • Our Antarctic Cruise a...

Antarctic Snorkeling: A Dive into a World of Penguins, Icebergs, and Beyond!" - What an adventurous and unique experience! I'm curious, what inspired you to try snorkeling in Antarctica, and what were some of the most unforgettable moments you encountered while swimming among penguins and icebergs?

Hi Ronnie - Such a great video and now I'm DEFINITELY going under the water in AA, I'm just trying to decide between snorkel and scuba. Do you scuba? If so, what made you choose snorkeling? Did you interact with others who did scuba in AA? Just curious what your conversations might have been like and just how much difference it might have been, considering it seems most of the wildlife (esp penguins) and the ice, you could see from the surface snorkeling. Thanks in advance, Phil

I have an advanced open water scuba cert but I learned that's no where near enough to scuba in AA. You need multiple other specialty certs and lots of recent similar experience. Almost felt like you need to be a professional scuba diver. Our guides also did scuba but not on this trip. I didn't talk to them much about it but I did get the impression most wildlife is on the surface. I'm sure there's something to see down there but I didn't feel like I was missing out.

Yeah you need dry suit certification AND 30 logged dry suit dives in cold water plus your own dry suit and all equipment. In total it will run around $10k so obviously it's a huge decision. I'm mainly interested in penguins and Icebergs and it seems you got those snorkeling. Thanks !
