Helpful information on the do’s and don’ts of snorkelling is essential, for newbies and experts alike. Again, avoid getting into the water by yourself. Having a companion will be greatly helpful should there be unexpected circumstances beyond your control. In purchasing your snorkelling gear, don’t be too thrifty. You may compromise the quality of the gear, your safety and your life, just for the price. Avoid buying gears from convenience stores. As much as possible, secure your gears from credited diving shops or stores or from professional swimmers and snorkelers.

Never try to stroke or hand feed great whites!

Never jump into the water immediately. Familiarize yourself first with the background of the location. It might even be more helpful to converse with swimmers or snorkelers who already had experience with the area. Be sure to locate the life guard or safety personnel of the resort or dive spot. When you are already underwater, bear in mind that you are merely a visitor of the aquatic kingdom. The right to enjoy their sight is entitled to you but you are not entitled the right to destroy that sight. In your own way, help protect the beauty of underwater life so that other swimmers and snorkelers like you will also have their own turn to experience your adventure.
