1st Time Snorkeler

I just got back from a cruise on the Tahitian Princess in French Polynesia and tried snorkeling for the first time. I was a blast! And it was SO easy.

Before leaving I had decided that I would not try it because I was concerned that I would have a problem remembering to breathe through my mouth, and that I would have trouble seeing without my glasses. Both fears were unfounded. The way the mask fits, I discovered, prevents one from inhaling through ones nose, and the glass lens of the mask magnifies things enough that I was able to see clearly.

I had such a great time doing it that I will do it again at the first cruise opportunity.

I decided to write this to let other non-snorkelers, who think they may not be able to do it, know that it's easily learned and a lot of fun.

Thanks for the review. I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it. BTW, the mask doesn't magnify, it's the water on the other side of it. :D
