Snorkeling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods of time with
relatively little effort. Snorkeling is a popular recreational activity, particularly at tropical resort and scuba
diving locatio
ns. The primary appeal is the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting without the complicated equipment and training required for scuba diving and it appeals to all ages because of how little effort there is, and without the exhaled bubbles of scuba-diving equipment.Snorkeling requires no special training, only the ability to breathe through the snorkel. The snorkel
A swimmer's snorkel is a tube typically about 30 centimeters long and with an inside
diameter of between 1.5 and 2.5 centimeters, usually L- or J-shaped and fitted with a mouthpiece at the lower end, and constructed of rubber or plastic. It is used for breathing air from above the water surface when the wearer's mouth and nose are submerged. The snorkel usually has a piece of rubber that attaches the snorkel to the outside of the strap of the diving mask. An older technique is pushing the snorkel between the mask-strap and the head, but this practice increases the chances the mask will leak. The dive mask
Snorkelers normally wear the same kind of mask as those worn by scuba divers. By creating an airspace, the mask enables the snorkeler to see clearly underwater. All scuba diving masks consist of the lenses also known as a faceplate, a comfortable skirt, which also encloses the nose, and a head strap. These range from oval shaped models to lower internal volume masks and may be made from different materials; common choices are silicone and rubber. The Snorkeling Place
Snorkeling is possible in almost any body of water, but snorkelers are most likely to be found in locations where there are minimal waves, warm water, and something particularly interesting to see near the surface.Generally shallow reefs ranging from sea level to 1 to 4 meters (3 to 12 feet) are favored by snorkelers. Deeper reefs are also good, but repeated breath holding to dive to those depths limit the number of practitioners and raises the bar on fitness and skill level. From this description, we can say MALVAN is the best place for snorkeling in MAHARASHTRA. MALVAN (Sindhudurg) is a port on sea shore of maharashtra near goa.Sindhudurg fort and rocks around it take the temperature of water on perticular level, because of which it has become shelter of millions of different speicies of colourfull fish and corals.This attraction have made snorkeling tourism in Malvan.
