Snorkelling Tips:

  1. Make sure your mask fits your face. Strap the mask on and breathe through your nose, the mask should then seal perfectly. If air leaks through, then so will water.
  2. Choose fins that are comfortable
  3. Keep your mask defogged; you can do this by using products made for defogging or using a small drop of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo with ocean water.
  4. Make sure to practice breathing out of the water before you do the real thing!
  5. A sharp burst of air can clear a flooded snorkel, be cautious of breathing in straight away.
  6. Know your limits and stay calm, when swimming with the aquatic wildlife the more calm you are the more you will see.
