Snorkeling

Snorkeling is like putting a special mask on your face that helps you see underwater. The mask has a tube called a snorkel that sticks out of the top of the mask so you can breathe air from above the water while your face is below the surface. This allows you to see all the cool things that live under the water like fish, colorful plants, and even big coral structures!

When you go snorkeling, you also usually wear flippers on your feet that help you swim faster and move around easier. Sometimes people also wear a buoyancy aid, like a vest or noodle, to help stay afloat in the water without having to swim all the time.

Snorkeling is a really fun way to explore the ocean and see all sorts of cool things in their natural habitat. It's important to be safe though, so always make sure you have a buddy with you and follow any rules or guidelines for snorkeling in the area you're in.
