How to Snorkel When You Are Afraid of the Water
The thing about snorkeling is that it’s the simplest,
safest, and easiest way to enjoy the wonders of
the world under the surface of the water.
That’s why millions of people want to do it and fall
in love with it once they do.

I’m not saying that snorkeling is risk free. Not at
all. There are always some levels of
necessary safety precautions that must be taken
when snorkeling, or anytime in the water.
A little bit of experience doesn’t hurt, either.

And, hey, I’ll admit it-I have my own list of fears
that I’m working to get over. Flying is a huge issue
of mine. Large dogs are a big anxiety inducer, as
well. So, I’m not hear to cheapen or degrade
anyone’s natural fears.
4

That’s not who I am and, believe me, whenever
someone says “why are you afraid of flying?
Don’t you know it’s safer than driving” I want to
punch them in the face and explain that cars have
brakes and usually won’t run the risk of having the
fuselage ripped open and sucking passengers out at
38,000 feet.

But, I digress…
If you’re scared of something, then you’re scared
of something. And you either face it and get over
that fear or you avoid doing that which makes you
uncomfortable or afraid. (I used to drive 11 hours
from Baltimore to Boston instead of flying 45
minutes)

When you’re scared of the water-even if you’re
the slightest bit uncomfortable with the waterthen
how are you supposed to garner that
experience, become more comfortable, and get
over your fear of whatever it is that scares you
about it?
8

The fears can be many; drowning, shark attacks
(though it happens a lot less than drowning), coral
scrapes, fish phobia or “Ichthyophobia“, surf,
under tow, rip tides, etc. You name it.
We’ve all grown up with some warnings about the
ocean.

Even if you’ve always been around or in the ocean
then you know, more than others, the dangers that
the beach and seemingly gentle, gorgeous blue
waters doth hold.
