 Great snorkeling. |
Get the most out of your snorkeling experience in Cozumel with the help of our top tips...
1) Use a mask that fits well - push it onto your face without using the strap and suction should hold it tight. If not, try another. |
2) Watch for hair in the seal which can cause leaks. If facial hair causes problems try a little Vaseline to help it seal.
3) For a better seal, keep the mask strap high up on the back of your head, not near your neck.
4) Avoid misty vision by using anti-fog liquid on your mask. If this isn't available, good old-fashioned spit also works, but if it's not your own mask be sure it's cleaned afterwards!
5) Wear an inflatable life-jacket. Perfect for when you need a rest and deflatable should you wish to dive below the surface.
6) Equalize your ears if you dive down more than a few feet. Hold your nose as you descend and gently blow to 'pop' your ears. If in doubt, ask a professional guide or diver.
7) "Leave only bubbles, take only memories" - please do not touch anything and follow the rules when within the Marine Park.
8) Relax. Breathe slow and deep. Enjoy Cozumel's wonderful underwater world around you!
