I just tried Snorkelling for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I have been almost every day since. This blog will be a rip-roaring account of the wild and often-dangerous adventures which I have been having beneath the sea!
Although many people consider snorkelling to be a relaxing, sedate pastime, the truth is slightly different -- it is long periods of relaxed observing, yes, but punctuated by moments of sheer terror when your survival instinct kicks into high gear and you find yourself struggling against strange and lethal enemies.
Anything from a rogue wave which fills your snorkel with water, to a jellyfish pulsing gently towards you with it's highly-venomous stingers -- the ocean doesn't want you there. You don't belong there. And it will make your life difficult every chance it gets.
However, please don't let these reports put you off visiting the ocean. There is much fun to be had with a mask pressing against your face, and the sun steadily burning your back, as you peer into the strange world below the waves ...
