10 Tips Before you Snorkel The Great Barrier Reef

  1. 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
  2. Your fins should be comfortably.make sure there is no sand inside the fins as this can rub on your feet
  3. Wet your face and hair before putting on your mask this will reduce the risk of fogging.
  4. Defog your mask frequently with washing or ask the crew for help
  5. 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
  6.  Try breathing through the snorkel before you enter the water , take time to adjust to breathing through your mouth
  7. 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.
  8. Be aware of the angles of your head you do not want the top of the snorkel in the water.
  9. In the water just relax, breath through your mouth and remember to float 🙂
  10. Always be careful of the coral, it is very fragile and kicking fins especially can cause breakages
