Hobbies: Snorkelling

Only Teens and Adults can take part in this hobby! 
(Requires to have finished the Life Dreams & Legacies quest, level 24+)

This 'hobby' requires to have built the Public Beach (on the island).

The cost for the Public beach is as shown:
- Two Bronze Sporty Orbs (costing two Sim lives, Bronze orbs are worth 70 LPs each)
- Two Silver Sporty Orbs (costing four Sim lives, Silver orbs are worth 80 LPs each)
You can pay the building cost in part orbs, part LPs. The total cost is 300 LPs if no orbs are used.

It also requires to have the Snorkel Hire Kiosk built. 
Cost:
- 8 Bronze Sport Orbs (costing 8 Sim lives, Bronze orbs are worth 70 LPs each)
- 4 Silver Sporty Orbs (costing 8 Sim lives, orbs are worth 80 LPs each)
You can pay the building cost in part orbs, part LPs. The total cost is 880 LPs if no orbs are used.

Note: as of the Neighbours Update it is possible to start and do every hobby in a neighbour's town, provided they do have met the requirements.
 
Find a Teen or Adult Sim and whistle them to the beach.
(If your Sim has done another hobby he/she will lose all experience of that hobby!)

Tap the Snorkel Hire Kiosk to rent a snorkel. There are three snorkelling locations, each completes two rows. 
The first two rows unlock the second location and the next two rows unlock the last location.
