Diving >>Snorkeling and Free Diving
Snorkeling:
For less demanding tourists we can offer snorkeling trips. Snorkeling could be just as fascinating because of the good visibility in the Red Sea. Having a guide diver guarantees visiting places where you can admire the greatest variety of marine life. It is much more relaxing. You are not required to carry heavy equipment, just a mask, fins and snorkel. You also don’t have to worry about friendly current, just enjoy
Free diving can be a challenging and exciting activity, for more athletically fit tourists. You can beat your depth record or just admire the marine life, feeling like a fish in its natural environment
Improve your techniques:
Snorkeling is not as demanding as diving. You don’t have to be experienced, attained training courses or buy expensive equipment to enjoy it. Although, it does require minimal information to avoid any problems in the water.
- Check if the mask is suitable for your face, by putting it on your face breathing in the air, holding the air for few seconds. Adjust the straps to the size of your head.
- When water is leaking into your mask push the top of the mask and blow out the air to remove the water.
- When you want to dive deeper it is not necessary to take off your snorkel. Just go up to the surface, don’t breathe the air in but blow it out to remove water.
- Objects under water are 25% bigger than on the surface.
- It is much easier to wear fins in water by putting one leg on the other and putting the fin on
- To swim with the least effort needed keep your legs straight and don’t make to many kicks with the fins.
Once in the water it is much easier to burn your skin, so you are advised to use sun cream before entering the water, or wear a t-shirt.
