2.0 out of 5 stars Should be: Snorkeling - How to buy and wear the equipment, August 22, 2000

By	Robert P. Larimer (Lowry City, MO United States) - See all my reviews

I wanted a book to teach me how to snorkel. This book teaches you how to evaluate and purchase the equipment to snorkel, and how to wear the equipment, but not how to USE the equipment!!! 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...

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an easy to understand instruction book., May 5, 1999

I just finished reading this book, and found it to be very helpful, from how to purchase snorkeling gear, to how to snorkel. It also teaches you how to take care of the gear you buy. 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.
