Environment Outdoor

Float face-down on the surface wearing a mask and snorkel to watch marine life beneath you — snorkeling is an easy entry into underwater exploration that reveals coral reefs, fish, and sea creatures in vivid detail.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Choose calm, clear, shallow water and check conditions before entering.
  • Fit the mask snugly against your face and test that it seals without leaking.
  • Bite gently on the snorkel mouthpiece and breathe slowly through your mouth once your face is in the water.
  • Wear fins to move efficiently, kicking from the hips with straight legs.
  • Float face-down and scan the water below, lifting your head only when clear of the snorkel tube's splash zone.

Tips

  • Practice breathing through the snorkel in shallow water before heading further out.
  • Apply anti-fog solution or spit-and-rinse inside the mask lens to keep it clear.
  • Swim with a buddy or use a signal float so boats can see you from a distance.
  • Never touch coral or marine life, both for your safety and to protect the reef.
