HOW TO SNORKEL SAFELY
SNORKELING SAFETY RULES
Within everyone's reach, snorkeling is an entertaining and natural sport that is practiced in an exceptional environment.
As an activity in an environment that is not our natural element, it requires following classic safety rules:
- Do not practice if you have cardiovascular problems; including (but not limited to) lung infection, angina, asthma, hypertension, heart disease, etc.),
- Consult your doctor if in doubt,
- Breathing through a snorkel is more demanding than simply swimming. If you feel tired , short of air, or dizzy, remove your mask and get out of the water.
- Do not practice alone. Always practice with a partner.
- Check the distance you have traveled and watch the currents; the return to shore can be tiring.
- Practice putting on and taking off your equipment several times before practicing in an area where you have footing.
- Check the state of the sea and the conditions before practicing. Protect yourself from the cold and the sun depending on the conditions.
- And of course, never touch the marine fauna or flora!
Before you leave, let a loved one know the route you have planned, don't forget to let them know once your outing is over...
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED FOR SNORKELING?
THE EASYBREATH MASK
There are many obstacles to go snorkeling: breathing with a snorkel is not natural and its mouthpiece can be considered uncomfortable and unhygienic. The field of vision of a snorkeling mask is reduced and sometimes the presence of fog on its mask does not allow you to fully enjoy the wonders of the underwater world
To answer those insights, Decathlon - Subea design teams revolutionized the practice of snorkeling in 2014, by developing the world's first full-face snorkeling mask, allowing you to see and breathe in water as easily as on earth.
The Easybreath Decathlon by SUBEA mask is suitable for the whole family (children from 6 years old).
From now on, a complete product range exists for all uses: for people practicing only on the surface to explorers who practice up to three meters.
