5.0 out of 5 stars This is an easy to understand instruction book.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to snorkeling. Now to put all this information to the test when I actually try it in Hawaii next month.

I see pictures of people diving underwater while wearing a snorkel - how do they do that without the snorkel filling up with water? Oh sure, I can figure out that if I lay on the water face down and have a snorkel in my mouth I can still breath, but I wanna know how to do more... This didn't even really touch on the basics...

But in fairness - It is a very good guide on how to purchase, wear, and maintain your first set of snorkeling gear...
