Do I need any previous experience to go sea kayaking?

The answer is simply no. The instructors of Odyssey Diving have many years of instruction experience in sea kayaking and they will teach you everything before entering the water. They also stay nearby when sea kayaking in case you need any help. In any case, there is a rescue boat at your call if you need it. The waters in Ithaca are usually flat and crystal clear giving you the best possible sea kayaking experience.
