Snorkelling Tips

• Buy decent snorkelling gear for everybody, even the kids. Kids and adults alike will give up if the experience is made unpleasant by cheap equipment.
• Keep hair out of the mask. It’ll cause a leak.
• A well-fitted mask should "stick" to your face without the strap. The guys at the dive store will show you what you need.
• Take the family to a pool to practice before you go into the sea.
• Make sure everybody slips, slops and slaps.
• Snorkel in the morning when the sea is usually at its calmest.
• Bring extra food: snorkelling makes everybody hungry.
• Use a bright beach towel to mark the entry spot on the beach.
• Stay together.
• An inflated inner tube tied to Dad can act as a rest spot for the entire family.
• For your first family snorkelling adventure, invest in a disposable underwater camera. The photos will be hilarious.
