How to go snorkelling on a coral reef by hhannah

"opened up an entire new world to me that was locked before in a book or on television""

How I did it: I was signing up to go snorkelling - I had never been on a coral reef before and for the extra $25 euros I could dive.  There was always the option to back out so I though what the heck...wouldnt this look good on my 43 things list!!!

I booked to go the next day
I had no experience with this before
and allowed myself to relax and try something I was afraid of.

Lessons & tips: Dont get too excited under the water like I did when I saw my first large shell and groupers. The flailing around makes other worried about you!

Just relax and learn to breath calmly through the regulator.

Because I have asthma and know what it feels like to not have air into my lungs this was really scary - but I had to harness this fear and be calm.
