A perfect trip is determined by the level of preparedness you have before you embark on it.  Same concept applies to snorkel tours you may have planned for yourself. If you have a good plan for your snorkeling tours, you are likely to get the most pleasure out of them. Before you consider anything, you should first consider the snorkeling equipment that you intend to use. Make sure you know how to use them before you get into the water

Goggles / Mask

You need to get comfortable goggles for your eyes, nose and face before your Oahu snorkeling tours. The best way to be sure that the goggles you have chosen are comfortable is trying them on. You should avoid using the leash to ascertain that they rest comfortably without dropping. You should breathe through your nose to make sure it is still stable even under such circumstances. You should put on the mask before you dive in and ask for help if you have a problem putting them on. The mask should be air tight because if they allow air in they will also allow water in and blur your vision. If they start leaking while you are snorkeling, get back to the surface and adjust the straps.

Snorkeler

Put on your snorkeler properly and lay flat on the water in a position that allows you to see the beauty underneath. Put your face at an angle of 45 degrees on the face of the water to allow you the best vision. Gently bite the mouth of the snorkel allowing your lips to tightly seal it. You may find breathing hard, but it feels better as you go on. Take controlled deep breath with your mouth taking caution not to breathe through your snorkel. Feel relaxed and knowing that whenever you get tired, you can lift your head out of the water for a moment before you resume.
Keep your airway clear, make sure you try to avoid going too deep into the water. However, you should understand that water may get in once in a while as you swim. Learn to clear this water as you go on with your adventure to make breathing less cumbersome and the experience more enjoyable. You can clear your snorkeler off the water in it by holding your breath and submerging your head into the water allowing some water into the tube and then lifting it out and exhaling forcefully getting rid of almost all the water in it.

Life jacket

Your life jacket makes floating much easier that way you can float and breathe without panicking. Choose a colorful life jacket to improve your safety as you float setting your eyes on the beautiful underwater environment.  Do not be in a hurry, learn step by step, putting your health and safety first.

Keep these in mind as a basic necessity for your next trip and you will have a good foundation for your best snorkel tour.…
