Snorkeling Tips:

  • Quality and properly fitting equipment will improve your snorkeling experience.

  • Clean your new mask. The inside glass of all new masks should be cleaned.

  • Defog your mask. Saliva works well, it is not very hygienic and usually washes out very quickly. Two or three drops of anti-fog made specifically for diving masks will usually work best and may last all day.

  • Wear your mask strap high on the back of your head.

  • Attach your snorkel on the left side of your mask. Snorkels with drain valves are designed to work best if worn on the left.

  • Clearing a snorkel is easy. Blow forcefully into the snorkel, take a shallow breath, and blow again to remove any remaining water. A self drain snorkel will make it even easier.

  • Avoid walking with fins on. If you must walk, shuffle your feet sideways or backwards only.

  • Snorkel with a buddy.

  • Use a snorkel vest if you are not a good swimmer or if swimming far off shore.

  • Avoid getting burned. Wear a Lycra dive skin or a tee shirt with a good waterproof sun block. A bad sun burn could ruin a great trip.

    Respect the reef. Avoid touching and bumping into coral. A healthy reef is a pretty reef. Learn all you can about coral reefs—they are fascinating and fragile environments, and follow Reef Etiquette.
