Snorkeling
Snorkelling is a recreational sport that takes place in an aquatic environment (sea, river or lake). It consists of swimming on the surface of the water using a mask in order to see underwater and a snorkel to breathe. The aim is to observe and enjoy the beauty of the complex underwater ecosystems. The equipment required for snorkelling is not particularly complex: a mask, a snorkel and flippers. Depending on the sea conditions and the needs of the snorkeller, a wetsuit or a lifejacket may be used. In contrast to other aquatic activities, snorkelling can be done even by novice swimmers, as long as they are accompanied by a qualified guide and follow basic safety rules.
