Snorkelling is a fun and cool activity that any visitor to the country can enjoy. The house reefs of islands are brimming with different species of fish and marine flora. All year round the temperature remains constant. Consequently, the water is warm, making it ideal for snorkelers.
The following tips will be useful for you to get the most out of your snorkelling experience in the Maldives:
- If you are a beginner then practice snorkelling in the swimming pools before heading to the lagoon.
- Make sure you are comfortable in the mask and snorkel. The mask should be a perfect fit to your face, to prevent water leakage.
- It is important to pick fins that accommodate your feet comfortably. A mismatch will cause cramps and blisters.
- It is recommended for beginners and people who are uncomfortable in water to wear a lifejacket at all times.
- If water leaks into your snorkel, you can remove the water by blowing air into the snorkel.
- If water leaks into your mask, you can remove the water by pressing the mask against your face and blowing out through your nose.
- If you feel any pressure in your ears, just pinch your nose slightly and blow out, this will equalize the pressure.
- At all times breath in and out gently and slowly while you snorkel.
- Always snorkel with a partner for safety and stay close together in the water.
- Watch out for the changing ocean current and winds, and keep away from the boats.
- Use a quality sunscreen to protect your body from sunburns.
- Swim slowly and gently to avoid overstraining yourself.
- Never touch the corals or marine life, as it may cause harm to you and the marine life.
