Before you start your diving activities and using a snorkel for the first time, there are some important tips and notions which you must learn and take into account. When done properly and following some main guidelines, diving and wearing a snorkel can be a great and very enjoyable activity, but if it is done without following the basics problems might arouse and it might end up being a headache rather than gratifying.

Your snorkel and the rest of your diving equipment might be the most important factor which you must pay attention to when you wish to dive. First of all, you should choose a good diving mask, which adapts to your face and fits it properly. With your diving mask, you should also buy a defogging solution which will allow you to avoid having fogging problems while you dive.

The most important aspect to which you must pay attention to when you buy a new diving mask and snorkel is the way it fits your face. The mask you buy must fit you perfectly or otherwise water might enter into it and become a big problem. You should also make sure that your snorkel can be attached to the mask without any problems. If your mask's strap is too wide or too narrow for your snorkel to be properly attached to it, you might have to look for another mask.   part two
