What is Snorkelling?

Snorkelling is a popular water activity that involves swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. Participants enjoy observing underwater life in a natural setting without the equipment and complexities of scuba diving. It is a widely accessible and enjoyable way to explore marine environments.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Snorkelling?
