But before you plunge into the sea you should be very sure about the equipment being used. Always choose a mask that fits you snugly. You should test this by putting it to your face without using the strap and breathe in through the nose. If it fits properly it will not fall off, even when you lean forward. Next, choose a pair of fins that fit your feet comfortably and a snorkel that fits easily in to your mouth. Enquire about potential problems related to the sea, like waves, currents and difficult entries and exits. Wear a t-shirt to protect yourself from the sun and a waterproof sunscreen on exposed areas of your skin such as the neck and the back of your knees. And finally, do not walk or step on the corals, to protect yourself and the corals from injury and damage. There are many snorkeling guides who organize or sometimes even give free lessons for snorkeling in shallow lagoons or swimming pools.
