• Profile - the sides of a Boat
• Design of profile

  a.     Tumblehome Design- the sides of the boat curve inward as they come up, which makes the beam narrower on the deck.

  b.     Flared sides- the sides curve outward (flare out) making the beam wider.

  c.      Straight sides- is a little bit of the two.
• Snorkeling - is a swimming discipline on or through the bodies of water while equipped with diving goggles, a typical U-shaped tube used for breathing which is called as “snorkel,” and swim fins.
• Mask - serves as the viewing device in appreciating the world beneath the water. Without the mask, everything viewed underwater will be blurred or distorted.
• Mask squeeze - a condition where the soft tissues beneath the mask, especially around the eyes, swell and discolor.
• Snorkel is a piece of equipment that makes it possible to breathe at the surface while the face is submerged in water.
• splash guard - prevents splashed water and spray from easily entering the tube.

  Dry valve - is a special valve on top of the tube that completely stops water (and air) from entering the tube when a wave comes or when diving underwater.

   
• There are two basic kinds of snorkeling fins

  a.     Full-foot fins cover the heel and are put on like slip-on shoes.

  b.     Adjustable fins, on one hand, are open at the heel and have adjustable straps to secure the feet.
• Snorkel vests - are small and inflatable, which provide more buoyancy while floating on water. This will help in consuming less energy in moving around.
• Swimming cap - is a big help in keeping hair out of the snorkel and the face as well. It will also help in preventing the scalp from burning on a sunny day
• Mask defogger - helps prevent the mask from fogging up.
