How To Snorkel
LeisurePro Tip: Snorkeling is a great way to appreciate underwater marine life without having to learn to scuba dive. Snorkeling equipment consists of a mask and a mouthpiece from which a hollow tube extends above the surface of the water. The tube allows the swimmer to breathe through her mouth while keeping her face in the water. The snorkeler also wears swim fins to propel her through the water.
When learning how to snorkel, the swimmer will be instructed to practice expelling water from her tube. To do this, the snorkeler will submerge herself (thereby putting the hose under water) and then swim back to the surface. When she reaches the surface, she will exhale sharply, consequently removing all water from the tube. After expelling the water, she should be able to commence breathing normally with her face still in the water.
Snorkeling is a great way to explore coral reefs and sunken ships and experience some of the wondrous beauty the ocean has to offer.
