Precautions for snorkeling in Maldives!

When vacationing in Maldives, most people will snorkel around the hotel island, because the characteristics and tourist density of one island and one hotel are actually not high compared with the area of each island, and there are almost no hotel islands equipped with lifeguards on the beach, so it is particularly important to pay attention to snorkeling safety!

The following are the things to pay attention to when snorkeling:

Before snorkeling

1. Pay attention to the weather. It is not suitable for snorkeling on cloudy, rainy or windy days, because the waves mainly come from the wind, and usually the wind is strong and the temperature is low on rainy days. When the wind and waves are strong, snorkeling is not only uncomfortable, but also affects physical fitness. In addition, low temperature can also cause physical discomfort.

2. Before snorkeling, please go to the diving center to learn about the sea conditions and currents of the resort. Usually ask about the time of high tide and low tide, the area suitable for snorkeling, and the current situation nearby.

If the hotel offers snorkeling courses, please be sure to attend. Swimming is different from snorkeling (swimming is the nasal cavity spraying in the water and inhaling from the water outlet; Snorkeling is the whole process of inhaling and exhaling through the mouth with a breathing tube. Never use your excellent swimming skills to treat snorkeling lightly.

Unless you have learned snorkeling, you should always wear a life jacket to ensure safety.

5. Pay attention to the direction of the water flow, and it is best to go upstream when entering the water, so that it will become downstream when you come back, which can save physical strength; Because when you come back, you are usually in poor physical strength. When you encounter countercurrent, you will accelerate your fatigue and increase your danger.

6. Please think ahead, what should you do in case of emergency (such as drowning and drifting)? And measure whether you have the ability to rescue?

7. Choose a snorkeling location. Considering that there are other people nearby or people often pass by. It is easier to get help in an emergency.

8. Whether you can swim or not, please prepare buoyancy AIDS for yourself, such as life jackets, life rafts or winter clothes.

9. The three treasures of snorkeling (face mirror, breathing tube and frog shoes) are indispensable. Most people may ignore the importance of frog shoes. In fact, frog shoes can provide powerful thrust, easily generate buoyancy and save physical strength.

10. Snorkeling must be accompanied by someone, and you can take care of each other when you have something.

1 1. Please check the tightness of the face mirror (not too loose or too tight) and whether the face mirror is easy to get water (there can be nothing between the face mirror and the face, even the hair will cause the mask to get water; Applying sunscreen on the face will also lead to the poor adsorption and water absorption of the face mirror), whether the breathing tube is easy to get water, whether the frog shoes are comfortable, and adjust all the equipment to the best state.

Snorkeling time

1. Look up and pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time, including the distance from the shore, the weather, whether there are ships, surface vehicles and snorkelers nearby.

2. When you unconsciously enter the flow area, whether it is downstream or upstream, please leave as soon as possible, so as not to consume physical strength due to upstream or be taken away from the shore due to downstream. In order to save energy, it is advisable to drift obliquely downstream.

3. Simple mirror drainage: water enters the mirror when snorkeling. Press the upper edge of the mirror with both hands and fingers, and then the water will be discharged from the lower part of the mirror. Please practice in the shallows first.

4. Simple breathing tube drainage: When the breathing tube is full of water, please blow hard and quickly to discharge the water. In addition, some well-designed breathing tubes have drain valves and check valves, which can effectively reduce the amount of seawater entering the breathing tubes.

5. Snorkeling time is suggested to be limited to less than one hour to avoid physical fatigue. Try to wear a waterproof watch to record the time.

6. In case of exhaustion, drifting or drowning, please be sure to tell yourself to be calm. Only when you are calm can you save yourself and ask for help. Sea water is buoyant, so if your legs can keep moving by pedaling your bike vertically, you shouldn't sink for no reason.

7. When your partner encounters an emergency, please ask for help immediately and evaluate whether you have the ability to rescue. When you go to the rescue, try to take floating tools with you. If both of them are already in the deep water area, please be sure to evaluate your rescue ability first, and don't rush to rescue. If you can't help yourself, please ask others for help first and pass the buoyancy-providing equipment to the drowning person.
