I'm obviously not a great swimmer but I have a genuine question. How do you stay close enough at all times to the surface so the open end doesn't go underwater?

Practice breathing with the tip of your tongue just behind your front teeth. This prevents any water inhalation as you snorkel. Water conditions are not always prime in the ocean. We teach beginners this little trick so they don't end up getting sick later from inhaling water. Your fins? Trying them on while next to the ocean is not the time for that. Too tight, and you will get leg cramps. When you shop for your fins, go in the afternoon. Your feet will swell to their max size so you will have true size when you try them on (the same reason you never buy shoes in the morning, too tight in the afternoon after all that walking) Myself, I prefer fins with the strap so you can adjust them. I also wear neoprene booties with them. Split fins? Everyone makes his choice. I prefer Scubapro Jet Fins (no split) here is my reason based upon experience: The ocean shore, depending on the tide and wave action, will be subject to rip tides (undertow). If you get caught in one of these, swimming perpendicular (at a 90 degree angle) from the flow of the undertow, will get you out and safe. Never swim against a rip tide, you will lose. Split fins mean much more work to get yourself out of an emergency. Swimming in a pool? Use whatever you want. Swimming in the ocean can be fun, but it can also go bad on you in a heartbeat if you don't keep your wits about you at all times. Plan for anything when swimming in the ocean. Go with a buddy. If you dive down past the tolerance of your snorkel, do so, one at a time. One up, one down. Look up the definition of these terms please: Rip Tides, Shallow water blackout. Be safe and have fun!

Nash Frogman - 7 years ago

Anytime brother! I want you to enjoy the exp and pass it on when you get the wisdom. Divers and Freedivers are all into teamwork. Thanks!

Charlie Ball - 7 years ago

Nash Frogman thanks for all the extra info!

Nash Frogman - 7 years ago

If you don't want to use an anti-fog solution and decide to go with the old method. You cannot just spit into the mask, especially, if it is new. First, you dab some toothpaste on the lens (inside, not outside) then scrub the inside lens with an old toothbrush (removes any silicone runoff from the skirt of the mask) after you have scrubbed the inside with your toothpaste, then you rinse with water. This is better done, at home prior to going snorkeling. Now, when you need to use your mask, then you can spit in it, rub it on the glass, rinse with seawater, and you are ready for total fog free lenses for your dive. If you use your mask frequently to snorkel, rubbing toothpaste on the lens once will be enough. If you store the mask for more than a few months, just repeat the toothpaste method and you will be good to go.

trash #90,657 - 7 years ago

wetsuits in my size are like 300 dollars

snake79545 - 7 years ago

Me too

Nash Frogman - 7 years ago

If you live in the U.S. try craigslist, when typing in the search, bear in mind, people type wetsuit and wet suit. Do both and you will find what you are looking for. I have found wet suits for friends for as low as $25, the most I have seen for snorkeling, is around $50. The thickness you will need for snorkeling is 3/2 (three millimeters on the body, two on the legs and arms. You should be fine. Craigslist is loaded with wetsuits from new divers and snorkelers that decided the ocean was too scary to swim in. I hope this helps.

Arthur Vieira - 8 years ago

Also, don't forget. "If you're a beginer snorkling in open waters don't do it alone. Have an experienced snorkler with you." "Keep aware of your surroundings and keep close to your colegues." "Don't do snorkling on bad weather or rough seas, principle if near ledges."

Esej Snake - 8 years ago

And...you didn't actually tell how to swim with the fins on? Kicking? That hurts.

Elijah Stewart - 8 years ago

is it necessary to wear fins? I don't even have a tube, I'm just checking this out to see if I like it

CNN - 8 years ago

Perhaps not necessary, but it makes the experience much more effortless and therefor enjoyable. You can usually find beginner's fins for around $20.
Furthermore, I would seriously recommend fins for snorkeling in more rip current-prone beaches and in beaches with more active waves. Fins can make it much easier to quickly and effectively get out past waves, and can aid you greatly in escaping rip currents and other oceanic dangers.

Peter Hughes - 8 years ago

hi I have tried this and love it when I was in Greece... but how do you go down without water getting in the snorkel.... hope you can help...Peter :-)

CNN - 8 years ago

I would suggest looking for a "Dry-top snorkel." These snorkels are specially designed with a floating valve on the top that, when submerged, closes, blocking water from entering into the snorkel.
With a Dry-top snorkel, you will rarely have to worry about water entering the snorkel, even when diving downwards.

Skyler Farris - 8 years ago

+Tao Te Ching Ching my mom but me a youth 7+ snorkel and mask it's awesome can wait to test it out

Tao Te Ching Ching - 8 years ago

When you first want to dive, take a deep breath, dive down, as you start to come back up you can begin to blowout till you reach the point of when the snorkel is out of the water where you can then blow all the water out of the snorkel. There's two types of snorkel, be sure you're using the right one that allows you to blow out while coming back up. Otherwise hold your breath till you reach the surface then blowout sharply, this will remove the water from the snorkel. Hope that helps...

If I wear adjustable fins, is it compulsory (or necessary) for me to wear booties? Thanks

Pugnacious LB - 8 years ago

Only if your fins are uncomfortable or for extra warmth

The Gordon Show - 8 years ago

Not necessarily you could just wear fin socks

Nathan - 8 years ago

Wait if you're mask is on to tight does that mean water will still get in?

snake79545 - 7 years ago

I guess I'm tough ?. .

CNN - 8 years ago

No. If your mask is on too loose then it will allow water to enter. If it's too tight, it can be very uncomfortable, sometimes even leading to headaches, or premature wear of the mask.
Aim for a snug but comfortable fit!

Dylan Sneyd - 8 years ago

+Nathan van Horrik Water will still get in, because when it's too tight, it makes creases and dips in your skin, and it seeps through the gaps.

Ion Sustriono - 10 years ago

Oh God.....
Yeah!!!!! I will try it on next holiday. Thank You Imanuel. Warmly regards from Indonesia.

Imanuel Aaron Mogie - 10 years ago

Yes, it's very simple. I took my first snorkelling session directly into the sea. As long as you're confident, you're good to go.

Parris Ackerman - 10 years ago

what if there's a shark

Cianna Curcio - 7 years ago

Sharks have a really sensitive nose so if one becomes aggressive and attacks you the best advice would be to punch or hit it in the nose and swim away

paulkazjack - 9 years ago

+Parris Ackerman I'd advise everyone NOT to snorkel purely on that basis.

Do you need fins or can you just use jelly shoes

Matthew Sweet - 8 years ago

Swim with a car. Much faster than fins.

5K VENOM - 9 years ago

You don't need fins swim with your feet

Lucian Iacob - 10 years ago

You absolutely need fins and a good pair of them for that matter! Open water currents are very strong and only a proper pair of fins can get you out of trouble. Even if snorkeling in a lake, you won't cover much 'ground' without fins. (I'm an Advanced + Rescue Diver, currently in the Divemaster programme).

I use short fins when snorkeling I hate long fins.

@Mohammed Faiz Hoosen probably pressure or issues with your ears dissipating it.. depends on how deep you mean and in some cases the type of water.

you need to equalize the pressure in your ears.
