Snorkeling can be a great alternative to scuba diving. Sometimes you don't yet have the training or equipment to scuba dive. Sometimes you'd like to ease into the sport slowly. And sometimes, even skilled scuba divers just want to enjoy swimming and looking around without the extra equipment, preparation and precautions that come with scuba diving. Snorkeling is a great option. Here are some elementary tips for getting started. You'll probably have a mask as well, so prepare it too. Make sure it's clean and fits well. Then prepare the faceplate with a commercial spray that will keep it clear. Or, you can use some raw potatoes. Rub a little of the starch onto the glass and rub it around. Now become horizontal in the water and keep your head slightly back, eyes forward. Your snorkel tube is designed to prevent water from splashing into the top, but some small amount may make its way in. Blow it out with a good blast of air, then breathe in slowly, keeping the tube as vertical as possible. If you feel yourself starting to panic, just raise your head above water, remove the mouthpiece and breathe normally. Then try again. It will take a few practice swims before you fully get the hang of it. Once you do, you'll be free to enjoy all the awesome sights in coral reefs and shallows. |
