The basic material is a snorkel mask and fins and, obviously, swimming wear. If you are not going to wear the fins and the site is stony, it will be good to wear water shoes to avoid to hurt yourself.
Everyone likes to have a souvenir of this kind of experience, so in your diving gear you can take a small water camera to immortalize forever the best beaches for snorkeling.
First of all, if it is the first time you dive with a diving equipment, before entering the water you need to put on the snorkel mask or snorkel and start breathing through it. It is essential that you practice before entering the water as in the beginning it looks easy than it actually is. You must learn to inhale and exhale with the aerator.
Once you enter the water, adjust the mask well, it should not be too tight but it should not move either because otherwise it will enter water into the mask or snorkel.
Another trick while you are in the water is that the hair does not enter inside the mask, because it could also move the mask and be uncomfortable.
If you want to breathe while snorkeling and diving, you must take a deep breath with the tube, remove the mouthpiece and push yourself with the fins. When you are back on the surface, you should put on the mouthpiece and exhale to let the water out. Probably, if this is your first time snorkeling and you don’t know how to snorkel, it will be easier for you to pop your head, breathe and release the tube to continue snorkeling in Malaga.
Let’s talk about diving fins now! As you can imagine, there are many types of fins. You have to make sure they fit well and don’t over tighten, otherwise you won’t be comfortable. The fins are necessary especially if you are beginners as you still have no dexterity with the movements.
Once you know how to snorkel it is important that you take care of your diving equipment, so remember to wash it with unsalted water and let it dry in the shade.
