snorkeling safety guidelines

Snorkeling safety is essential for an enjoyable experience. Always snorkel with a buddy and stay close enough to help if needed. Use proper gear—mask, snorkel, and fins—and check they fit well beforehand. Stay aware of your surroundings, including currents, waves, and marine life, and avoid touching or disturbing wildlife. Keep a slow, relaxed pace to conserve energy and prevent fatigue. Sun protection, hydration, and sunscreen are crucial to prevent sunburn. When entering or exiting the water, do so carefully to avoid injury. Respect marine environments, and always follow local guidelines and warnings.
