If you don't want to use an anti-fog solution and decide to go with the old method. You cannot just spit into the mask, especially, if it is new. First, you dab some toothpaste on the lens (inside, not outside) then scrub the inside lens with an old toothbrush (removes any silicone runoff from the skirt of the mask) after you have scrubbed the inside with your toothpaste, then you rinse with water. This is better done, at home prior to going snorkeling. Now, when you need to use your mask, then you can spit in it, rub it on the glass, rinse with seawater, and you are ready for total fog free lenses for your dive. If you use your mask frequently to snorkel, rubbing toothpaste on the lens once will be enough. If you store the mask for more than a few months, just repeat the toothpaste method and you will be good to go.
I use baby shampoo..just a drop on each side..Rub it around the whole glass..and rinse just until the bubbles are gone..yeah toothpaste should only be uses when get new mask..the factory puts thin layer of silicone on it
Thank you for teaching the basic steps for snorkelling. I have no idea of snorkelling at all. After watching your video I'm quiet confident to give a try.
Practice breathing with the tip of your tongue just behind your front teeth. This prevents any water inhalation as you snorkel. Water conditions are not always prime in the ocean. We teach beginners this little trick so they don't end up getting sick later from inhaling water. Your fins? Trying them on while next to the ocean is not the time for that. Too tight, and you will get leg cramps. When you shop for your fins, go in the afternoon. Your feet will swell to their max size so you will have true size when you try them on (the same reason you never buy shoes in the morning, too tight in the afternoon after all that walking) Myself, I prefer fins with the strap so you can adjust them. I also wear neoprene booties with them. Split fins? Everyone makes his choice. I prefer Scubapro Jet Fins (no split) here is my reason based upon experience: The ocean shore, depending on the tide and wave action, will be subject to rip tides (undertow). If you get caught in one of these, swimming perpendicular (at a 90 degree angle) from the flow of the undertow, will get you out and safe. Never swim against a rip tide, you will lose. Split fins mean much more work to get yourself out of an emergency. Swimming in a pool? Use whatever you want. Swimming in the ocean can be fun, but it can also go bad on you in a heartbeat if you don't keep your wits about you at all times. Plan for anything when swimming in the ocean. Go with a buddy. If you dive down past the tolerance of your snorkel, do so, one at a time. One up, one down. Look up the definition of these terms please: Rip Tides, Shallow water blackout. Be safe and have fun!

I even went snorkeling knowing nothing at all at the ocean. Experienced to drunk water, had bruised from the corals. But indeed it was fun and loving it.
Thsnk You for Sharing Your Overall Expertise on Snorkeling, for both Beginners and the Experienced. I learned alot! You are A Great Teacher!!! Keep Up The Great Work while Enjoying Your Life😇😇😇😁😁😁
Also, don't forget. "If you're a beginer snorkling in open waters don't do it alone. Have an experienced snorkler with you." "Keep aware of your surroundings and keep close to your colegues." "Don't do snorkling on bad weather or rough seas, principle if near ledges."
You should add use of an inflatable/deflatable snorkeling vest. It's a cheap but valuable safeguard for snorkeling in a new or unknown area or if you are not an especially strong swimmer. Better safe than sorry!
Another video said ti adjust the snorkel so that as you look straight down, the snorkel is straught up. Not as shown here. I’m looking to see how you dive if the snorkel is in the mouth and how to clear it which seems to ignore this in this video
I never try snorkel yet, thanks for the lesson. I always afraid to breath in with the water, oh and hate that water noise in my ears. Really want to try overcome my fears.
Dreamtowin15 good for you! I used to have those rmfears but now I am in the water every chance I get! I have even started my own video channel for it! Good luck, you can do it!
What happens when water comes unexpectedly into the tube, and you got no more breath to blow out. Such causes one to panic and come right up...or a wave breaks and you blow, but cannot blow the water completey out?
When you first want to dive, take a deep breath, dive down, as you start to come back up you can begin to blowout till you reach the point of when the snorkel is out of the water where you can then blow all the water out of the snorkel. There's two types of snorkel, be sure you're using the right one that allows you to blow out while coming back up. Otherwise hold your breath till you reach the surface then blowout sharply, this will remove the water from the snorkel. Hope that helps...
I'm obviously not a great swimmer but I have a genuine question. How do you stay close enough at all times to the surface so the open end doesn't go underwater?
Our bodies have natural buoyancy. Laying flat on the surface with your face down aids this buoyancy. Your snorkel has a curvature to it, so when you are on the surface looking down, the snorkel will actually be above the surface.
To everyone! You are beautiful just the way you look! You are important! You do have worth and meaning! I love you! You are important! You do not need to be skinny or have abs to be Beautiful!

Generic Mexican, SCUBA is for completely breathing underwater. SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. The air source for the snorkel is the human lung! Which only lasts so long before you have to inhale more air, of course. The advantage of having a snorkel versus nothing at all, is that the snorkel allows you to leave your head down, submerged/partially submerged, and keep your eyes on the scenery. That's what you're there for! : ) So, essentially, it's for convenience. It gets annoying to constantly have to come all the way up and out of the water to get more air. Then you just missed that beautiful sea turtle or Queen Angelfish or school of amazingly colorful Parrot Fish that just swam by. With the old fashioned snorkels, you have to clear the water out when you come back to the surface when you need to take your next breath. The newer dry snorkels never allow water in, so you can breathe through them the entire time without having to clear water out, but you will of course need to get more air at the surface, again, without having to come all the way out. Just the top portion of the snorkel tube needs to come out, then you can inhale more air and explore, dive for as long as that breath lasts.
whynottalklikeapirat why would he be joking. I occasionally go spearing and a simple j snorkel will definitely help you to observe more before you dive down
@@urb6857 I am talking about diving with a dry mask, I have no idea how what you are talking about relates to that ... but thanks for the advice, I'll pass it on to my open water students ...
In step 6 you say take deep breath when water gets in snorkeling tube take a deep breath and expel the water, How do you breath when the water is tube?
It is explained poorly, but if you get water in your snorkel forcibly say the number 2 loudly twice through your snorkel, like you're sneezing it out "TWOTWO!" the force of the sound will force the water up and out of your snorkel top.
AmursUzNaglas yes you need a mask that covers your nose. Othervise you can easily inhale water through your nose, which could potentially be dangerous depending on conditions you are in.
There is not hygiene issue with using spit, you just find it gross that's all. Spit is completely reliable and 100% effective. Who the fuck wants to be carrying around some extra bottle for a job you have to be able to perform out to sea if you have to? This defog business is just feeding off peoples feelings and insecurities and lack of proper mask handling, which is usually the real issue ...
No mention of how to deal with water in your ears. I attempted snorkeling once decades ago and my ears filled with water and I could not get it out for weeks and ended up with an infection. I have consulted several "experts" who all told me water in the ears is not a problem so I must have imagined my ear infections and water filled ears that made me temporarily deaf. I have never found any suitable diving ear plugs. The few I have found have holes in them to let the water into your ears which to me defeats the purpose. So far, after years of searching and asking, nobody on RUclips can give me a straight answer. My last, one and only time snorkeling was June 1976. My head has not been underwater since for the above reasons. Maybe I'm just a freak born without ear covering valves like the rest of our species seem to have.
Sure you can go to a dive shop see snorkelling and scuba diving take tonnes of oxygen out of you PARAMOUNT is strong legs any casual snorkeler or diver really needs to be minimum a B-grade cyclist you get those ocean going fins YOU NEED POWER AND EFFICIENCY aehy use Aqualung® Compro™ vented fins in open water and save my Tabata® Domino™ fins for say a river or pool don't doubt getting "paddle gloves" there's close fist technique required like a seabird paddling, be safe.

No
Why tf would I want to put thoothpaste on a new mask
Ari F Toothpaste is abrasive so it will rub the silicone off while not damaging the tempered glass.
Thank you for the advice

Great help, thank you. I see it was filmed in La Herradura, Granada, Spain.
The best basic step by step video I've found. Thanks.
I practice in the bath or the sink sometimes even in the toilet but only when the water bill is high ;)

thank you I like to go snorkeling in my pool I love to swim and now with this I can swim longer!

I wear socks with my fins to prevent sore feet. Also don’t do a frog kick with fins, it puts too much pressure on your knees. Good basic video 😊
@@harleyshoaf4916 you sound like a massive bitch
It was at this moment the mask knew... It fogged up.
Commentator bu-dum-pssssss
Nani??
You should add use of an inflatable/deflatable snorkeling vest. It's a cheap but valuable safeguard for snorkeling in a new or unknown area or if you are not an especially strong swimmer. Better safe than sorry!
very helpful video. really appreciate it!!!
I am soon going to try it.....thank you made it look very interesting and easy.
Thanks for another helpful video!
Wow. What location are you at in that video? It is beautiful.

@Mohammed Faiz Hoosen probably pressure or issues with your ears dissipating it.. depends on how deep you mean and in some cases the type of water.
This is a very useful video, thanks for the upload!
Hi what brand snorkel is the one you are using
yes very helpful tips ....really like your video
beattie's if wearing adjustable fans. THANKS CAPTIONS, YOU REALLY HELPED.
best vid I have seen thank you
Thank u so much for the useful video
Best tutorial ever!!!
is it necessary to wear fins? I don't even have a tube, I'm just checking this out to see if I like it
thanks for the video! very useful for beginnes.
Is the snorkel tube supposed to be in the left or right side mine is weird and idk
Anyone know what kind of fins hes using?
thank you for this video, I'm ready to star :)
im going to try this tomorrow at keywest but im not the best swimmer...i think im going to buy one of those vests
Thx for the tips!
What happens when water comes unexpectedly into the tube, and you got no more breath to blow out. Such causes one to panic and come right up...or a wave breaks and you blow, but cannot blow the water completey out?
Do you need the fins? Can I just be snorkeling without them?
My advice..get longer fins😊shorter fins will make you work harder..i suggest also fins that slip on..not fan of the strap on ones
hi I have tried this and love it when I was in Greece... but how do you go down without water getting in the snorkel.... hope you can help...Peter :-)
When you first want to dive, take a deep breath, dive down, as you start to come back up you can begin to blowout till you reach the point of when the snorkel is out of the water where you can then blow all the water out of the snorkel.

u remind me of commander shepard from mass effect series a bit
great video!
I don’t got a pool but MacArthur Park is ok the water is so dirty but there ain’t no waves
Great Video,, many thanks bro..
Another thing is that when you’re diving, you should take out your snorkel, so that if you blackout, you don’t inhale water.
even me i pratice in a tub with a full of water and i finally do it but the problem is theres a lot of dandruff in water lol
Spit!? Oh my word!
sounds stupid but its really works
Tia Williams it works or you can get de-fog like I do
Tia Williams
Your sexxy!
Thank you! :D
I thought I knew it all but I learned something...
I use short fins when snorkeling I hate long fins.
La Herradura!! lol best place ever!!!

may i share your video on instagram? could you please tell me whom shall i tag?
Good 😊
If I wear adjustable fins, is it compulsory (or necessary) for me to wear booties? Thanks
Not necessarily you could just wear fin socks
Only if your fins are uncomfortable or for extra warmth
I was under the impression that using a snorkel meant you can breathe underwater. Might as well not use one at all and just go to the surface for air

do you need fins if you are in a pool?
Not but it's more fun because you move around faster
It's just for practicing purposes :)

Do you have to wear fins
Only if you want to be able to swim faster than normal.
+ThatGuyYouArent2 he said fuck
Do you need fins or can you just use jelly shoes
You don't need fins swim with your feet
Swim with a car. Much faster than fins.
Don’t do the moonwalk. Walk to the water swim out or sick on a ledge and put your fins on
"I am a professional this and that ..." * puts on completely dry mask *
whynottalklikeapirat what?
@@urb6857 Dry
Thanku
but i dont have apair of fins
Why the fuck is snorkels so useful.
Plus never do it alone.
Will your nose be protected?
Wait if you're mask is on to tight does that mean water will still get in?
+Nathan van Horrik Water will still get in, because when it's too tight, it makes creases and dips in your skin, and it seeps through the gaps.
@snake79545 no evidence of that, man
good vid!! ...
