Snorkeling: Blast Clear

Objective: 
  •  to clear your snorkel of water without lifting your face out of the water
Value: 

 This skill will let you enjoy viewing whatever you like for a much longer time and in a more relaxed fashion than constantly having to lift your head out of the water to breath.

Steps to Perform: 

Underwater [Heading to the Surface]

  1. Tilt your head back gazing at the surface as you ascend [this will allow wtaer to drain out as you start to crest the surface]
  2. Begin your clearing as soon as your face clears the water [the tip of snorkel can still be under]
  3. Blow a forceful burst of air out of your lungs
  4. Place your tongue over the opening in the snorkel [to keep any residual water from entering your mouth]
  5. Sip your first few breaths to ensure that no water remains
  6. Clear again as necessary to eliminate any residual water
