Article Abstract:
Freediving allows snorkelers to take a closer look at the marine life on shallow reefs. The technique in freediving is to take three deep normal breaths, hold it, then bend at the waist and lift the legs above the head for a downward motion. Wearing weights could help snorkelers descend.

Article Abstract:
Restricting the use of gloves to keep snorkelers or divers from touching corals is unnecessary. Instead of restricting glove use, snorkelers and divers must be educated on how to better control their movements underwater. Gloves are essential for diver or snorkeler safety.

Article Abstract:
Laws alone do not ensure the protection of the marine resources. Snorkelers can contribute to the preservation of coral reefs through education. They can also develop skills to lessen the impact of their presence in the water to corals.
