Everyone can snorkel.  However there are a few basic safety rules.   The most important rule to remember is: Never touch coral!  You may kill it and you may get hurt!    Don't stand up on rocks too.. Good snorkeling spots include Arashi beach, Mango Alto, Baby Beach and many more.

This is how to snorkel;

Stand in the water to learn.( age 5 or 6 till age 105 ;D )

   O.K,  Water WILL get into your snorkel,
whether you submerse yourself intentionally or a wave splashes water into it, or you just opend your mouth without thinking about  it. 
No problem, just don't  hold your breath, you need to take action, take the snorkel out of you mouth. 
 

After some time you can learn other ways to deal with the water in the snorkel. This is how you learn this..

  • Allow yourself to sink below the water until you face is just under the water.
  • Take a deep breath through your snorkel.
  • Hold your breath.
  • Completeley submerse yourself and your snorkel in the water.
  • Rise to your original position.
  • Blow a sharp blast of air through your snorkel.
  • Slowly inhale to see if there is still water in it.
  • If there is still water in the snorkel, blow another short blast into it.
  • When the snorkel is clear, continue to breath normally through it.

    • Tips:

    • Try not to exhale all your air on the first blast.
    • When checking to see if the airway is clear don't suck in a huge gulp of air.  Do it slowly.
    • You can try this in a swimming pool first.

    Don't snorkel on you own, be safe and keep a good look out for speed boats!!
