Under water can be a threat or a thrill to many people. It depends on how much you enjoy spending time swimming or looking for lost treasure buried under the sand. Snorkeling is a recreational water activity that involves swimming on top of the water with three pieces of equipment. The three pieces are: water mask, snorkel, and flippers.
Water masks are very important in snorkeling. The mask covers your eyes so you are able to see and covers your nose so no water goes up your nose. The mask has to be wet before you put on the mask because the mask sticks to your face from the pressure of the water when you dive deeper. Water mask come in all shapes, sizes and colors. There are straps and strapless masks for people's comfort.The next important piece is the snorkel.
The snorkel has a candy-cane shape with a mouth piece and a long tube connected to the mouth piece. The snorkel is what you exhale your air through while you are under water. The snorkel helps you focus longer and be able to keep swimming with little effort. To be able to cover vast areas, another piece of equipment is needed, the flippers.
The flippers are pieces of rubber or plastic that act like fins that propel you through the water. You wear them with straps so they don't fall off. Flippers make snorkeling less energy consuming, giving you longer periods of time for your adventure.
Snorkeling is very popular at tropical resorts, where there is lots of marine life to see. Aqua Lung can provide you with all your equipment needs when you're ready to take the dive into the sea.
