What is Snorkelling?

Snorkelling is a popular water activity where participants swim on or through water equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. It provides the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting without the complicated equipment and training required for scuba diving. It’s popular in tropical resort locations and amongst families and marine enthusiasts.
