The following are some practical tips for snorkeling

1. Make sure that the equipment is the right size for you.

- To fit the mask, press it tightly against your face without the straps around your head. Breathe in; if it fits, it shouldn’t fall off.

- Snorkel tube should feel comfortable when you put it inside your mouth.

2. Clean the glass of the mask and prevent it from fogging up by spitting inside it, and rub it with your fingers. Rinse it out with ocean water.

3. When you put on your mask, remove any hair from your face. Adjust the straps around your head and make sure that the snorkel tube is well adjusted to the mask.

4. When you are snorkeling, breathe only through your mouth. To avoid swallowing water, don’t lift your head above the water while you are using the snorkel tube.
