This number is for an adult of about 70 kg. A heavier person burns more, a lighter one a bit less.
An hour is about 370 kcal, half an hour about 185. Kicking with fins and staying warm in the water both take energy.
It barely feels like exercise when you're following a turtle around. That's the best kind.
Tips
- 1Swim out to the reef instead of taking the boat all the way.
- 2Do two shorter swims in a day instead of one.
- 3Wear a rash vest so you can stay in longer without getting burnt.
