Stiaan Fasen - 7 years ago

When the snorkel gets under the water how do you breath because in other videos they go under water ??

A_LUKE_AROUND_THE_WORLD - 7 years ago

Stiaan Fasen you can't breathe with a snorkel on thats why you have to hold your breath

Sinyong Ang - 7 years ago

but when i blow air out of my snorkel there are still a littile bit water stuck in side of my snorkel so what do i do

A_LUKE_AROUND_THE_WORLD - 7 years ago

Sinyong Ang usually what you do is breathe out hard when you come up breathe in gently as not to get and water in your mouth then breathe out hard again the you can breathe more heavily if your snorkel has a valve you can cover the top and breathe heavy and it will come out the valve

Casper Bradley - 7 years ago

Delete this video from youtube. Snorkels are just rubbish.

Kurumba Maldives - 6 years ago

well we guess it is your personal attitude and many travellers are enjoying snorkeling lots!
But there is a solution for you - to try a full face mask. Hope that helps.

Casper Bradley - 7 years ago

Cant breath through the nose with that on

AllAmericanGuy01 - 7 years ago

My biggest fear is having unforseen water make its way in my snorkel while I'm inhaling. Hence why I would never snorkel. lol

AllAmericanGuy01 - 7 years ago

+Mypinkbike Let me know how it turns out! If that's the case, I'll give it a shot.

Mypinkbike - 7 years ago

That's my fear too. I'm going on a cruise and found they make snorkel tubes that are "dry"(just fyi for you) so they don't let the water in! Definitely going to give it a try!

Lawrence Mendoza - 7 years ago

I would like to know what kind of swim clothes she is wearing, I burn easily in the sun and like the long sleeve and short set to swim in.

Kurumba Maldives - 7 years ago

Hi Karen, this is just a rush guard, made from high UV protective fabric. You can find these in most of shops for snorkellers / divers or order online. We certainly recommend you one, as it protects much better that any sunscreen.

It required some practice, but we are sure you will be fine. Don't forget to book our complimentary snorkelling lesson when you are in Kurumba.

Dear Waleed, under water you are not supposed to breath, hence you need to hold your breathe.

looks interesting are you able to buy equipment after snorkelling?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

anakin grima - 8 years ago

+Kurumba Maldives alright thanks

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Dear Anakin, unfortunately in Kurumba we do not sell out equipment which we use for rent, however it is possible to purchase new sets in the resort boutique.

subtenko - 8 years ago

What are your thoughts on the snorkel vest vs life jacket thing? Ive heard type 1 wont cut if for snorkeling but type 2 and 3 might allow you to keep your head in the water. (I see these people are wearing life jackets)

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Snorkel Vests can be adjusted to the buoyancy we require, if an
individual wish to dive with Snorkeling vest, they are able to do so by
deflating the vest (similar to Buoyancy control device (BCD) in scuba diving).
However Life jackets are not built to do so, they are buoyant
and keep you always at the surface.
Both types are comfortable and Safe but if you wish to do bit of
diving with your snorkel, it’s highly recommend to have a Snorkel vest.
in a another a case, if you are not that comfortable in the
water or if it’s your first time snorkeling, it’s recommend to wear a Life
jacket, which will help you float all times.

I'm going snorkeling in a lake where there's a rope swing and a few lost GoPro from what I hear it's fresh water will any fish or anything come after me?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Normally if you do not approach or touch the marine life nothing will come after you, however we would certainly suggest you to check more information if there is any dangerous creatures in a particular lake. In regards to your GoPro there are some accessories, which will help you to fix it to your hand and not to lose during snorkeling. You may check online or in the special shops.

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Barracudas do not normally attack humans. However they are sometimes attracted by by reflections of shiny metals, so try to not to wear any jewelry for snorkeling, however if you find that you have forgotten to remove the jewelry hide it from sight or cover it with your other hand. Then back off slowly, do not approach the barracuda and it will not bother you ;)

AlanisClaw - 8 years ago

+Kurumba Maldives What should I do if I see a big baracooda? In the last 2 days, I've spotted 2 medium sized baracoodas just in about 3-4 feet.

I'm not a very good swimmer at all I do panic at times, but I would love to go snorkelling at some point. Would I need to be more confident to do so?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Dear Anne, we would suggest you to wear a life jacket every time you snorkel and do a snorkelling lesson prior to go for experience. Snorkelling is very easy, however make sure to go to water with a buddy or instructor.

Aaron Long Lay - 8 years ago

Ur pretty legit

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Dear Anita, normally to see the reef you will be floating on the water surface, and the water depth can be between 1-15 meters. However you should not be scared. The important things is always to wear a life jacket and snorkel with a buddy or in the group. Also please join for snorkeling lesson before you go for this experience.

Anitra Gilmore - 8 years ago

+Kurumba Maldives how deep should we go if we're not strong swimmers

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+Aaron Long Lay .. Thank you Legit and we quite quite a bit of fun as well. Sunny regards

TianCong Lyu - 8 years ago

So when i do a duck diving, water will not get into snorkel or is there some particular skills ?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+SeikiBrian thank you for helping us out, useful information for the guest!

SeikiBrian - 8 years ago

+TIANCONG LV -- You're welcome, and congratulations on your first dive! Skin and scuba diving are amazing experiences, and I envy you being able to do it in Thailand. (I live in Seattle, USA, where the only warm water is in a bathtub!)

TianCong Lyu - 8 years ago

+SeikiBrian thank you man, it's been very kind for you to tell me this. I'v tried the surface dive at samui this morning, it was godlike i never expect such a wonderful underwater world!

SeikiBrian - 8 years ago

+TIANCONG LV -- Kurumba Maldives' answer was incomplete. If you have a DRY snorkel (equipped with a valve that closes underwater), no water (or very little water) will get into the snorkel; however, if you have a PLAIN snorkel, also called a WET snorkel (which is just a hollow tube), water WILL get in the snorkel, and you blow it out when you surface...a technique called "clearing" the snorkel. It's very simple once you've been shown how to do it. Dry snorkels, especially the cheap ones, can malfunction, and either let water in if they're stuck open or prevent you from breathing if they're stuck closed. The simple tube snorkel has no moving parts, and so it is "failsafe" -- not to mention being very inexpensive. You can learn to dive with and clear a simple snorkel in just a few minutes' time.

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+TIANCONG LV thank you for your question. When you do dive diving you will keep your breath and water will not get into the snorkel. No particular skills are required, but you should be a good swimmer

Audriana Campbell - 8 years ago

Thanks you helped me alot

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+Audriana Campbell our pleasure and we hope you enjoy your snorkeling experience!

Fakhira Musa - 8 years ago

what if i can't swim ?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+Fakhira Musa dear Fakhira, we would suggest you to join our snorkeling lesson first, so you can calm down and learn how to use the equipment and how to float in the water. You will obviously have to wear the life jacket. A good option is to book for a private snorkeling tour, to ensure you are well taken care of by the instructor.

ccbeemine - 9 years ago

what kind of vests are they wearing? Are the required? Non swimmers?

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

Yes we understand your point. But life jackets are recommended for all non-strong swimmers (and there is no rush when your snorkel). As well it depends on currents as sometimes they might be strong. So it is always advisable to wear a life jacket unless you are a strong swimmer. Snorkelling is very easy but enjoyable activity.

hank li - 8 years ago

+Kurumba Maldives thank you. I have never snorkeled and have never swum in the ocean. They say that life vests slow you down and inhibits you. But what good is that if you drown because you did not wear a vest? I know you can still drown with a life vest. So life vest it is to be safe and then I can remove it as I get proficient in snorkeling. Always safety first. Not a time to be proud and arrogant.

Kurumba Maldives - 8 years ago

+ccbeemine they are wearing a life jacket. It helps to float in the sea safely and it is a must for non swimmers.
