World Snorkeling Day Significance

Snorkeling is a popular recreational activity that provides the opportunity to observe underwater life. It is the practice of swimming face down on or through a body of water while breathing the ambient air through a shaped tube called a snorkel. This day aims to highlight the beauty of this recreational activity and the fragility of our oceans. This water sport appeals to all ages because of the little effort involved in it.

Snorkeling should not be mistaken for scuba diving. Unlike scuba diving, snorkeling requires simple gear and can be done without certification. World Snorkeling Day is not an officially recognized international observance, but it has been informally celebrated by enthusiasts and its popularity has grown over the years.
