Have you always been fascinated by the marine world or are glued to the national geographic channel admiring the colorful school of fishes and beautiful corals ?
Or are you one among them to put your wish on the back burner just because of the fear of water or you feel that you are too old to learn swimming, then time to cheer and get all excited and wet. Yes, you could experience the fascinating world without even bothering to learn swimming. Sounds interesting ??
Fret not, Sea Walking is the latest way to experience the underwater world without the hassle of swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving skills.

July 9, 2016 at 12:00 pmI am so upset that I will be missing out on my family trip to Andamans but you guys helped me add something amazing to their itinerary. The best ever alternative to scuba diving that my parents are scared off. 😀
