  1. What is Snorkeling?

  2. Snorkeling Snorkeling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swim fins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods with relatively little effort and to breathe while face-down at the surface. Snorkeling allows anyone to have fun quickly and at no risk. There’s no need for hours of training before giving it a try: it’s instant fun from the very first time you get in the water ! Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t necessary to dive deep underwater in order to admire the aquatic flora and fauna… You can start while staying on the surface. A thousand wonders await you!

  4. DO’S and DONT’S for Beginner Snorkelers: Do's of Snorkeling - • Do an Equipment Check (Mask, Snorkel, Fins) this can cause panic and hysteria as bubbles and water seep in your mask. When renting gears and equipment, it is wise to do an equipment check before going to snorkeling in the open sea. • Do get to know your surroundings before venturing out see if other people are snorkeling or swimming. Ask locals if there are any riptides or strong currents. Are there any sharp rocks or reefs that you could potentially wash up to? Take the time to get to know your surroundings. • Take your snorkel gear to a local pool or lake(in the summer) and get comfortable. Snorkel lessons are also available to give you a little professional help. Learn to adjust the mask and fins. Get your muscles used to kicking with the fins.

  5. Don’ts of Snorkeling - • Don’t snorkel alone if you’re a beginner to this, buddy up with a more experienced person. Even though snorkeling is a rather safe activity than scuba diving, you are still in the open ocean, vulnerable to things like currents, sharp reefs, and wildlife. • Don’tpanic and pull anyone down, if you find yourself panicking, do yourself a favor and don’t grab the nearest person next to you. Instead, float on your back, inhale deeply and call for help. • Don’ttouch anythingeven if it’s the most harmless-looking fish, don’t attempt to touch it. The same goes for cute looking bubbly corals or sea anemone. Some marine life can hurt your fingers and hands, especially if you get too close. Keep your hands to yourself and be wary of picking up and touching things.
