I’m going to talk about snorkeling, which is quite popular nowadays but for some reason I have only tried once recently. So you can do this sport pretty much everywhere provided there’s a body of water, preferably a beach with some beautiful submarine landscapes

In my country the ideal place to go is ABC island where there’s gorgeous coral, and I was there for my first experience with snorkelling. If you can afford overseas travel there’s plenty to choose from, like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia

The equipment required for this sport is quite simple, you just need a snorkel to help you breathe underwater. Obviously it is better to wear a mask to prevent water from coming into your eyes and fins to swim faster

It was wonderful being underwater and looking at beautiful marine animals and plants. But I had to be very careful so as to avoid touching them. I also had to stay close to the shore because you know, it is quite easy to get distracted and swim to a place that is not very safe
