Tips Snorkeling for Beginners
If this is your first time snorkeling, don’t worry! Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your experience:
- Choose the Right Gear: Make sure your mask fits snugly without letting in water, and try out your snorkel before entering the water to get comfortable with breathing.
- Practice in Shallow Water: If you're new to snorkeling, try practicing in shallow waters first to get accustomed to the mask and breathing through the snorkel.
- Stay Calm and Float: Remember to stay calm and float on the water’s surface. Move slowly to avoid stirring up sand and disturbing the marine life around you.
- Protect the Environment: Don’t touch the coral reefs or marine life—simply enjoy their beauty from a safe distance.
- Wear Sun Protection: As you'll be in the water for several hours, make sure to apply reef-safe sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s strong rays.
Following these simple tips gives you a much more enjoyable and safe snorkeling experience!
