Introduction

Snorkeling (British and Commonwealth English spelling: snorkelling) is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. In cooler waters, a wetsuit may also be worn. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods of time with relatively little effort and to breathe while face-down at the surface.

Snorkeling is a popular recreational activity, particularly at tropical resort and scuba diving locations.

Snorkeling History

The snorkel, a tube of wood and rubber, was designed by a German inventor in 1858. The first patent for this device was issued on November 27, 1858 to the inventor of the modern snorkel—a Dutchman named Peter Muller.

The basic idea behind a snorkel is that it allows you to breathe while your head is underwater. It accomplishes this by providing an air hole above the surface of water and directing incoming seawater through that hole so that you can breathe easily through your mouth and nose without coming up for air (assuming there’s enough oxygen in the water).

Snorkeling is a popular recreational activity, particularly at tropical resort and scuba diving locations.

The primary appeal of snorkeling is being able to swim on the surface without using an underwater breathing apparatus (i.e., scuba gear). It appeals to beginners because of its simplicity and convenience; there’s no mandatory training or certification process, as with scuba diving, nor does it require special equipment beyond the snorkel itself.

The primary appeal is the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting without the complicated equipment and training required for scuba diving.

Snorkeling is a great way to enjoy swimming and the underwater world. Although it may seem like a fairly simple activity, there are many aspects of snorkeling that may not be obvious at first glance. The primary appeal is the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting without the complicated equipment and training required for scuba diving. You can snorkel on shallow reefs or in open water, so you can choose whether you want to be near shore or far out to sea.

Snorkelers do not need to be strong swimmers; although swimming ability is necessary for some parts of the sport, it’s possible for those with only modest skills to participate as well.

It appeals to all ages because of how little effort there is, and without the exhaled bubbles of scuba-diving equipment.

Snorkeling is appealing for a number of reasons, one of which being that it does not require you to be a strong swimmer. While snorkeling pools and lakes make it easy for beginners to practice, the ocean can prove more difficult. Snorkelers who are new to the water may wish to stay near shore as they gain their confidence in this new way of breathing underwater. If you’re planning on traveling anywhere tropical or warm anytime soon and want something fun yet simple that will bring your family together (and keep them entertained), snorkeling might be just what you need!

It is the basis of the two surface disciplines of the underwater sport of finswimming.

The two surface disciplines are surface swimming and finswimming. Finswimming is a competitive swimming sport that has been around for years, but it’s only recently become popular with non-competitive swimmers as well. It is similar to underwater hockey; however, finswimmers use swim fins instead of ice skates!

Snorkeling seems like a nice way to enjoy swimming without getting too wet!

Snorkeling is a way to enjoy swimming without getting too wet. It is a popular recreational activity practiced by people of all ages and abilities, and can be done in any body of water including oceans, lakes, rivers, or artificial pools. Snorkeling masks are generally used with swimfins or bare feet to propel one’s self through the water while they breathe through a snorkel that floats above the surface. A snorkel is also called an aqua-lung when it is used for underwater diving as part of scuba gear by professional divers.

Conclusion

There are so many reasons to go snorkeling! It’s easy, inexpensive, and there’s tons of cool stuff to see. I’d recommend it for people who want to try scuba diving but aren’t sure about spending the money or taking lessons first (or if you just can’t swim). If you get really into it, maybe consider buying some snorkeling gear so you don’t have to rent every time.
