Snorkeling is exploring underwater life with the use of a mask, fins and snorkel. The mask improves your ability to see the plant and fish life underwater, the fins allow you to use your legs more efficiently to propel yourself over the surface of the water, and the snorkel, is essentially a breathing tube that allows you to through your mouth continuously while your head is partially submerged. Snorkeling is a less complicated way to observe wildlife than scuba diving, and requires little training to master.
