By Lena Stephenson


There are many things that you can do in the sea. It is a relaxing place where you can also do various types of activities. Because of the many stuff that you can witness and do out there, it is the usual choice of people when they want to go on vacation. The types of amenities vary on the preference of the client. If you want to see the great scenery under the sea without having to dive, you can try snorkeling.

This might be a very good experience for you. But you should also be careful about doing these activities. You can never know what would happen during your snorkeling so you have to be careful. Despite the number of things that you can do in the sees, you still have to be wary because it can be dangerous in an instant. If you want to be safe, you have to look for a resort that has already established a good reputation such as Key West Sail and Snorkel.

Snorkeling might look simple. But you have to learn several skills before you can master it and go on your own. Most of the resorts have their own instructors that can teach their clients to snorkel and to do other activities as well. If you feel that you are ready right after the practice, you should still take some extra precautions. For example, you can take a friend with you while you are snorkeling.

Another means to stay safe is to have the right equipment. You can either rent it or purchase it in snorkeling stores. If you think that you have enjoyed the experience, you can at least purchase the equipment so that you would not have to rent again when you snorkel next time.

Snorkeling is only done in areas where the current is not strong and there are no huge waves. This is because the presence of either of the two would make it such a dangerous activity. And you would not have a chance to even see what is underneath if you are continuously swept by the wave.

Most of the time, you will stay on the surface. And the longer you stay afloat, the more dehydrated you become. To avoid this, you have to carry water or other beverages with you. It would not be ideal for you to use sea water because of the high salt content.

When you are snorkeling, you are not allowed to touch anything. The only thing that you will do is to observe what they are doing. If you try and touch any of the creatures you might be disturbing the natural balance of the sea. Aside from that, you never know if some of the creatures are dangerous or not.

Aside from wearing the right outfit, you should be wearing a cap as well. It keeps the hair from getting into the tube and it also helps keep the water out. But more than that, the cap will help protect your scalp from the sun. You will lying face down most of the time. And this might burn some parts of your back.

There are anti fog products for goggles that you can use. It is not good for you to go to the ocean with fogged goggles because you will not see anything at all. The water might even get in your eyes. Some of the cream are sold in the stores with the snorkel equipments as well.
