The Snorkeling Forum has been designed by snorkelers for snorkelers. It has evolved as a way in which the community of water enthusiasts can learn, connect, grow, and enjoy. The forum is meant to be functional, helpful and valuable for people of all ability levels and all ages. The snorkeling-related categories (seen below) are designed to generate questions and lively discussion. The Forum will constantly be evolving in order to improve the contents, community, etc., so please don’t be shy about providing suggestions and constructive criticism. Anyone interested in exploring the marine world first hand is invited to become involved as a member. Happy snorkeling! |

Excellent resources
There are a plethora of excellent resources available to snorkelers. They range from books, cds, dvds, and websites. Here are a few of the most informative marine-oriented websites:
Weathernet http://cirrus.sprl.umich.edu/wxnet/ (Site related to weather around the world) Ocean/coral reef sites: http://www.aims.gov.au/pages/research/coral-bleaching/scr2004/ http://www.enchantedlearning.com/biomes/coralreef/coralreef.shtml http://www.coralreefalliance.org/ http://www.reefbase.org/ http://www.wcmc.org.uk/marine/data/coral_mangrove/ http://www.reefnet.org/ http://slugsite.tierranet.com/ http://www.seaslugforum.net/welcome.cfm http://www.fishbase.org/home.htm http://www.reefbase.org/ http://www.crustacea.net/ http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/OCEAN_PLANET/HTML/ocean_planet_resource_room.html http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Organizations/aes/aes.htm http://www.ocean.com/default_0404.asp http://www.ocean.com/Gallery/Photographers/?PID=46 (Ethan’s gallery) Books BSAC. Snorkeling For All. Stanley Paul & Co. Ltd. 1991. This is a straightforward and textbook-like manual about snorkeling, equipment, training and technique - written by the British Sub-Aqua Club, member of the World Underwater Federation.Maas, Terry and Sipperly, David. Freedive! BlueWater Freedivers, 1998. A Complete Guide to Breath-Hold Diving. This book, as the title describes, is primarily for free-divers, not snorkelers. However, we appreciate this book for it's comprehensive text on beginning and advanced freediving, including chapters on physiology, safety concerns, and philosophy. Also see "Videos". Newman, John. Scuba Diving & Snorkeling for Dummies. IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. 1999. Besides a lot of information that's only applicable to divers, this book is a great introduction to snorkeling. It covers equipment, technique, and physiology. It also has a section on marine plants and animals, different underwater environments, destinations etc.
