Matters needing attention for snorkeling.
Snorkeling precautions, the undersea world really makes people daydream infinitely. Snorkeling can not only make us closer to nature, but also we can enjoy all kinds of fish at the bottom of the water. When snorkeling, we should pay attention to a lot of things. Share the snorkeling notes below.
1. Do a good warm-up.
Before snorkeling, it must be good to do warm-up exercises, such as stretching, leg pressing, joint movement, etc., which can help all parts of the body move and avoid sports injuries during snorkeling.
2. Choose the right equipment.
Learning to swim with snorkeling equipment does not mean that you can swim after removing the equipment, so you must choose qualified mirrors, breathing tubes and flippers; only in this way can you ensure safety.
Otherwise, any of the factors such as leakage of breathing tube, broken mirror belt and broken flippers during snorkeling may bring fatal danger.
3. Master the corresponding skills.
Before snorkeling, be sure to master the corresponding skills, such as diving mirror, breathing tube and drainage skills, as well as breathing skills in the water, and so on.
Before snorkeling, you can find someone such as a diving instructor to guide snorkeling skills. It is recommended to practice in the pool first.
4. Put on gloves.
It is best to bring your own gloves when you float and dive, one is to make it easy to grasp things, and the other is to avoid being scratched by the sharp objects on the reef when you need to hold or stabilize your body near the reef (because there are always waves pushing you around in the water, so it's easy to hit the reef). General work gloves are fine.
Snorkeling can not only see the underwater world, but also help exercise, is a simple exercise, even if people who can not swim, as long as put on equipment, can enjoy dancing with fish, but snorkeling these points for attention still need to know.
5. Choose long sleeves.
When snorkeling, it is best to choose long-sleeved clothes and knee shorts, one is to protect against the sun, it is easy to get sunburned when snorkeling, and the other is to prevent scratches from shellfish in the water during snorkeling.
6. Put on your life jacket.
Be sure to wear a life jacket before snorkeling, and be careful not to take it off midway.
And because you need to vent the gas of the lifejacket before snorkeling to reduce buoyancy in order to dive, so you also need to learn the inflatable method of the lifejacket on the surface.
Specific method: first of all, hold the air outlet of the lifejacket in the left hand, and open the inflatable valve. At this time, the frog shoe kick method must be changed. After opening the feet back and forth and clamping back to the middle, there will be an impulse to rush out of the water. Take advantage of the time to rush out of the water to inhale, the body falls back into the water and then blows into the lifejacket, so that the air in the lifejacket can produce greater buoyancy.
But it's important to note that you don't bite the breathing tube when doing this.
