Scuba Diving, Snorkeling & Underwater Gear
Snorkeling is one of the easiest ways for humans to observe the underwater world. Using a mask and snorkel to swim along the surface of the water enables one to observe the aquatic life below. It is believed that snorkeling and freediving originated in 3000 B.C. where sponge farmers used hollow reeds to snorkel and dive for the sponges off of the Greek island, Crete. Modern day snorkelers require a mask and snorkel (a shaped tube that is partially submerged and used to breathe underwater), but fins are a common addition. This is generally a warm or tropical water activity, although an exposure suit may be worn to make the experience comfortable in more temperate waters.
