Snorkelling

If you are not sure what snorkelling is, very simply it is swimming using a mask and breathing apparatus so you can stay face down on the surface. This means you can see the life beneath the waves, it also makes it much easier to swim and float.

While it is not scuba diving it is a good first step. If you like snorkelling chances are you will get on with diving. Snorkelling requires very little gear, just a mask and snorkel, although fins certainly help and in cold waters so does a wetsuit.

While the snorkel only works on the surface snorkelers can dive deeper by holding their breath. On returning to the surface a sharp exhale through the snorkel clears it of water.
