Don’t be alone

For all beginners, you should not snorkel alone but with a group of friends forming a group. Snorkeling time would probably be a good time for you, but you should always remember always don’t get away with your group because it could endanger yourself. You need to always look around to keep you safe while snorkeling.

Don’t forget warming-up

When snorkeling, you really need the movement of your legs and arms. If you are not able to warm-up you could have cramps while in the water.

Get on board when you start cramping

When snorkeling, you won’t realize the time spent. You may not feel how long you’ve been in the water surface and your hands and feet start cramping or numbness. If you start to feel something less comfortable immediately came on board. Do not try to hold it because it could jeopardize your security.

Don’t get panic

There are many things in the sea that you cannot predict, especially about the weather. Weather changing in the ocean might affect the flow of sea water. Strong water currents might pull you into the middle, but if it happens do not get panic, remain calm. Ask for help to the group by shouting or whistles that have been prepared and try to swim to your ship.
