Scuba diving and snorkeling
Snorkel gear can be used to swim and see tropical fish and coral reefs.
This is a fun, inexpensive activity that can be done anywhere!
Scuba diving is more involved!
This is where you use an oxygen tank and scuba gear to dive deeper.
You usually have to go through a certification process.
This can be expensive and time-consuming.
It usually needs to be completed in advance.
Parasailing and kite surfing
Parasailing is a sail attached to a boat.
The boat drives, lifting the sail high in the air.
Kite surfing is a surfboard attached to a small sail.
The person on it is able to control the sail’s direction.
You can often see people doing both of these on large bodies of water.

Tubing

Inner tubes are inflated and used to float rivers.
People put a cooler full of drinks on the tube and lazily float the river.
Often a large group will attach their tubes.
Even in the middle of the summer, this is a popular activity in Arizona on the Salt River.
It is a fun, inexpensive water activity.

Paddle boarding and kayaking

Especially popular on lakes are paddle boards and kayaks.
However, you will see these used on the ocean and rivers as well.
Both are a great form of exercise as well as very fun!
People rent or own the water craft.
Some paddle boards are inflatable for easy transport.
