• Snorkeling


  peeking through life underneath water by swimming with the aid of a snorkel and mask
• Through snorkeling, one can observe the underwater attractions for a longer period of time, without the need to constantly resurface to gasp for air, and with relatively lesser effort.
• Snorkeling


  helps the overall fitness of a person. Aside from having fun under the waters, swimming, doing the flutter kick, and diving tones and trims the body.
• Snorkeling


  It has also been used in water-based search by rescue teams and in water sports such as underwater hockey, underwater rugby, and spear fishing.
• MASK


  serves as the viewing device in appreciating the world beneath the water. Without the mask, everything viewed underwater will be blurred or distorted. The airspace created in the mask is what helps in seeing clearly underwater.
• two most important things to remember in choosing a mask. These are fit and comfort.
• SNORKEL


  basically composed of a tube, also called the barrel, and a mouthpiece. The tube-end sticks out of the water while the mouthpiece goes in the mouth
• SNORKEL


  piece of equipment that makes it possible to breathe at the surface while face is submerged in water.
• snorkel with a flexible tube


  below strap attachment point is more comfortable than the classic snorkel. The flexible tube allows the top and mouthpiece to rotate to different angles to better fit the face. It can also drop away from the face when not in use.
• classic snorkel


  has the most basic part, the solid tube and the mouthpiece. Sometimes, this can be bent to specific shape.
• splash guard


  prevents splashed water and spray from easily entering the tube.
• Purge Valve 


  is a small valve just lower than the mouth that empties the collected water that comes down the tube when one blows it out.
• A common feature of many snorkels is the purge valve
• dry valve


  is 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.
• Speed and efficiency in swimming are what one grains in wearing fins. They provide the necessary locomotion to propel effortlessly in the water.
• Snorkeling Fins


  Water resists or “pushes back” anything moving through it. This is the principle behind what the fins do. It is this resistance that provides much of the propulsion created by a moving fin.
• adjustable fins


  are open at the heel and have adjustable straps to secure the feet. Such fins are often used with dive boots.
• full-foot fins


  cover the heel and are put on like slip-on shoes
• 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.
• Skin Protection


  Snorkeling may require one to be under the sun for some time. The shirt may also provide jellyfish sting protection.
• Mask Defogger


  helps prevent the mask from fogging up. Be sure to choose one that is non-toxic, biodegradable, and alcohol free for one’s protection and for the protection of marine life.
• R- rain check.
• O- one up, one down.
• S- stay close to the shore if you are a beginner.
• N- never do it alone.
• L- leave them alone.
• E- energy retention
• K- know your surroundings.
• kayak


  has a covered deck, while a canoe is wide open
• Kayaking and canoeing both require a paddle for propulsion and steering.
• Kayakers extend legs and are seated low or sometimes on the deck. It uses a double-bladed paddle. A canoer, on one hand, sits on a raised seat or kneels on the bottom of the boat and uses a single-bladed paddle.
• Kayas or “qajak” meaning “man’ s boat” originated from the Inuit and Aleut tribes of Arctic America.
• The word “canoe” originated from the Carib word “kenu” which meant dugout.
• Single-bladed paddles are usually used for canoes and double-bladed paddles are for kayak.
• Paddles


  are the equipment used to maneuver the boat
• Whitewater kayaking


  canoeing is paddling down the whitewater rivers. A flat-bottomed boat will help the boat spin on the water and take on the rapids for practicing various maneuvers.
• Sea kayaking


  done in open water such as the ocean or the lake. Kayaks may be a sit-on-top or decked design.
• Sailing


  where the kayak is fitted with a sail.
• Flatwater Recreation


  relaxing canoeing or kayaking where you can take a gentle paddle down a calm river, ocean, or lake to do some sightseeing.
