Introduction to Snorkeling

Quite a number of people still wonder what the term snorkeling is and what it is actually all about.Snorkeling can be a an activity you can indulge in purely for research and sport purposes, until recently it has developed a worldwide audience who embrace it as an instrument of fun and leisurely longings.True to its capacities,it makes for a growing number of people who either may never have had any prior experience to the art or are seasoned professionals in it still look for new and even better ways than the last to enjoy the art.Thousands buy into snorkeling holidays in places around the United States and abroad,but they may yet want to know how best to prepare for a snorkeling experience that will guarantee them a good feel both externally and in the mind.Obviously,you may already have known that you will require a snorkeling gear but it is worthy to remind us exactly how to enjoy them even in deeper waters.I assume you have a prior introduction to what snorkeling is so we will want to see how to use them correctly like the experts,failing which, may constitute some health tragedy,really.It may be fun but marketers will not specify the hazards involved.


  1. If you are relatively new to snorkeling or not too comfortable with it,please don't push yourself or try to impress your mate.Ask for a LIFE JACKET,although a number of cruises around your holiday resort may have one on deck for you.If not,i strongly recommend you get one.Wearing one does not guarantee safety but using it consciously is the watch word.For adults,I suggest if you use one ensure the straps is tightly and correctly fitted before you attempt to jump off board,although for the ladies please avoid being peeked at by holding onto the jacket in a position just above your chest to keep your "stuff" in check.If your kid wants to give it a try,fine,just make sure they are at your watch or alternatively a life guards'.For the disabled,you should always be under a watchful eyes.

  2. You are now in the water and after a period of time you begin to feel slight discomfort around your temple.It is alright to use your thumb to systematically adjust the straps on the sides of your mask to a level comfortably enough.If your need major adjustments then make for the surface and ease yourself,the underwater view is still there.Note that if you are making adjustments to the mask under the water surface,then do rightly so and avoid a coral directly interfacing your eyeball.Adjust from both ends of the mask to establish a balance of feel on your face,you will know when it is correctly adjusted otherwise I suggest you undertake several exercise sessions in shallow waters or a swimming pool before attempting a dive.

  3. Maintain the grip you have on your snorkel with the strong molars at the back of your mouth and with your lips you seal the outside,after all it is the reason why you are under the water that long.Try never to loose the grip unless you are pretty good with it,hence a professional.Be informed that while you are enjoying the underwater water it can get completely engrossing and disconnect your thought from the fact that you are only in a world that isn't for humans,I mean watch the fish in a position that is aligned to the position of your body.You do anything from turning side ways spontaneously,jolting up and down, and staring directly ahead but never try to keep a gaze until it runs beneath your foot.If you try to keep the gaze your snorkel will face the opposite direction and hence stop the rhythm from your snorkel and you will swallow a lot of this water.

  4. If you purchased a package that includes a cruise to your chosen destination,most of the cruise will have you disembark at a reef for instance if you are on a cruise in Punta Cana standing on the reef directly overlooking the water is strongly inadvisable.It is important for a newbie and professional not to stand directly at the point where the water is in contact with the base of the reef.If the wave approach and return they could suck you along unprepared,any act to resist significantly hurt you.As you snorkel around,enquire if you are allowed to collect shells and its like around as some part are protected for ecological researches.You do not want to be interfering.

  5. Maintain a sense of community as much as you can with people you meet snorkeling and off it.They may be much experienced in it or a highly informed about the types,nature and details of the areas outside and inside the water.If you love birds,some of the reefs boast a large amount of species that may not be found anywhere in a metropolitan settlement or global settlement hence their uniqueness.A digital camera is compulsory in your itinerary,a water proof you is better still.

Snorkeling can be a memorable experience that you will want to enjoy over and again,catch up with the ins and out and enjoy what we have been enjoying.As you are already conversant with what snorkeling is why not go get a snorkeling gear and experience one of the snorkeling experiences available around you. Alternatively look for one on the Internet.
