6. Snorkeling A skill executed using a diving mask, a shaped tube called a snorkel, and often swim fins. A person often snorkels to observe underwater life. Some snorkelers also wear a wet suit if the water is cold The skill of snorkeling is sometimes used by scuba divers in an attempt to search or rescue someone under water

7. Snorkeling Clearing the mask Hold the mask steady and tight to your eyebrows with one hand. Now steadily and with a little force exhale through your nose. The water will fall out of the bottom of the mask, and re-apply it back down completely on your face. Clearing the snorkel If your snorkel is clogged with water, simply exhale with strong force. This will send the water up and out of the tube.

8. Safety Rules Never swim alone. No running/roughhousing in swim area. No glass is swim area (and locker room). Always assess swimming area (especially outside in open water) for any potential dangers. Never dive in shallow water or water that you can’t see the bottom. Recognize where the emergency equipment is located.
