PADI Snorkeling and Skin Diving

Snorkeling and Skin Diving Course

Snorkeling - Interacting with the Underwater World

One of the most common reasons given for going snorkeling is to see the underwater world. Aquatic life identification books, slates and videos are popular snorkeling materials because they enhance the snorkelers' experiences by defining and categorizing the animals and plants they see.

Beyond aquatic life identification, snorkelers may have other specific goals.
For example, photography and videography are natural extensions of aquatic life interests. Collecting and sharing photos or videos taken while snorkeling broadens and diversifies the experience. Shallow water exploration can include searching for artifacts and research activities. Wrecks near shore or partially submerged can provide exciting snorkeling. Night snorkeling can produce the same thrill experienced by night divers.

Snorkeling often appeals to those with a general interest in oceans, tide pools,
and inland waterways. Snorkelers tend to be nature-oriented people who pursue
environmental causes, and want to take part in preserving our underwater
resources. Snorkelers can be strong Project AWARE ambassadors, participating in beach cleanups, shallow water cleanups and other activities.

Although most people enjoy snorkeling in the open water environment, snorkeling in a swimming pool may also be fun. For example, snorkeling may be an aerobic activity, part of an overall fitness program in health clubs, colleges and universities.
