10 Tips Before you Snorkel The Great Barrier Reef
- To see if the mask is the right size, put the mask to your face and take a deep breath through your nose. If the mask sticks to your face it’s sealed up and is good to go. If the mask falls down try another one
- Your fins should be comfortably.make sure there is no sand inside the fins as this can rub on your feet
- Wet your face and hair before putting on your mask this will reduce the risk of fogging.
- Defog your mask frequently with washing or ask the crew for help
- The mask strap sits on the back of your head near the top crown keep the strap tight but not to tight that it is uncomfortable
- Try breathing through the snorkel before you enter the water , take time to adjust to breathing through your mouth
- If water gets in your snorkel ,send a solid breath of air through to clear the water. this will send any water out the top of your snorkel.
- Be aware of the angles of your head you do not want the top of the snorkel in the water.
- In the water just relax, breath through your mouth and remember to float 🙂
- Always be careful of the coral, it is very fragile and kicking fins especially can cause breakages
