Snorkel and Mask Tips by: Jakob Jelling Before you start your diving activities and using a snorkel for the first time, there are some important tips and notions which you must learn and take into account. When done properly and following some main guidelines, diving and wearing a snorkel can be a great and very enjoyable activity, but if it is done without following the basics problems might arouse and it might end up being a headache rather than gratifying. Your snorkel and the rest of your diving equipment might be the most important factor which you must pay attention to when you wish to dive. First of all, you should choose a good diving mask, which adapts to your face and fits it properly. With your diving mask, you should also buy a defogging solution which will allow you to avoid having fogging problems while you dive. The most important aspect to which you must pay attention to when you buy a new diving mask and snorkel is the way it fits your face. The mask you buy must fit you perfectly or otherwise water might enter into it and become a big problem. You should also make sure that your snorkel can be attached to the mask without any problems. If your mask's strap is too wide or too narrow for your snorkel to be properly attached to it, you might have to look for another mask. Besides your mask, the fins you choose are a very important part of your snorkel complementary equipment as well. The fins you choose should fit you and allow you to feel comfortable while wearing them as well as they should adapt to the specific kind of diving activities you will practice. You should make sure that they fit you and adjust to your fit size but without making you loose mobility. Another very important factor which might have a great impact on the way you practice and enjoy diving is the way you feel while being into the water. In order to be able to enjoy your diving practice you must be able to relax and feel comfortable while using your snorkel as well as while being in the water. This is a must if you wish to start practicing this sport and acquiring new skills and techniques, you can not practice this activity if you feel scared of the water or of using a snorkel.
