Hi all,


When I was teenage I could have loved snorkelling but,I am doing spearfishing and free-diving now.My friend had encouraged to me before I didn’t start.It’s been my vast hobby,I like seeing reefs and fish.As well as,I want to try scuba diving one day because ,if you make scuba diving you can go down more deep and you can stay under the water more a long time.

I hadn’t been snorkeling, but I have been scuba dive. _
My wife and I had been scuba dive at Racha Island Phuket in August 2013.
This is my first to scuba dive, only time until now.
It’s a wonderful experience, I had never seen so many marine creatures in the ocean.
Perhaps, someday, I have a chance for scuba dive again.

I love snorkeling. It’s a magic world for me. You can swim with colorful underwater life for hours. It’s like  in a movie with the coolest high tech effects. Plus you can touch a fish. But! be careful with some of them. Actually is hard  to know. Once I touch a coral reef and was poisoned. The scars from it were minor, but they were growing. On the 7th day I got scared. Luckily they fade away within two weeks. ;) but I turned into a cat ;))

When I was in Spain and Turkey I did some snorkeling. It is fantastic to observe the marine life in the sea. I hope I can get to any sea again and of course, I will try snorkeling again.

I have been snorkeling,at least i could have done it once in my life.It was during a trip to Maui,Hawaii. One of the attractions is booking a boat trip out to Molokini, a crater volcan island not far away from the coast, and here is where the fun begins, snorkeling and scuba diving,the gear? no problem !! it is provided by the boat company, as well as floating devices to which i am thankful for, otherwise i might not be around today.  As i Am not good at scuba diving (and a little afraid) i did snorkeling,what can i say about the experience? Unforgettable,the multi-colored marine life i could see it was like magic to my eyes. I like to come back to Molokini and splash in its crystal waters  again.

No, I have never been snorkeling but maybe I will do it one day. I am not a good swimmer at all and it stops me from scuba diving. Though I have heard that skills of swimming are not needed for snorkeling. The main thing there is a correct breath and no phobia of water. :-)


Owing to my friend, Julito I open for myself great videos of talking nature.

Snorkeling is really amazing. You can get in touch with the marine life – somewhere we are not used to see in our day by day. Better than snorkeling is scuba diving – a remarkable experience that allow you to know colofful reefs, different species of animals – and all them creatures seem to be floatin in the water!


If you are afraid of go deep in the sea, you can start snorkeling. You just need a mask and I really recommend you to take a waterproof camera to register all the amazing moments down there. And anytime you feel uncomfortable, you can raise your head, as you normally are in the sea.
