The marine environment is appealing on a multitude of levels ranging from appreciation of playful curious fish, to detailed examination of species diversity. The engaging colors, dynamics, and textures of the coral reef fascinate both children and adults. Snorkeling is perfectly suited to families, where children, parents, and grandparents can share the experience. Learning to snorkel is a skill anyone comfortable in the water can easily master, regardless of age. Although many people adapt easily to the activity, most novices will benefit from a few useful hints.
