While it may appear to be a relaxed activity, scuba diving and snorkelling can burn anywhere between 300 and 500 calories per hour, depending on water conditions and the level of effort involved. Swimming against currents, controlling buoyancy, and hauling diving equipment engage multiple muscle groups, including the core, legs, and shoulders. The added resistance from water amplifies calorie burning while creating an unforgettable underwater experience.
