Finally the time has come!<\/strong>
You're on beautiful Bonaire, ready to explore the breathtaking underwater world. As you put on your snorkel mask and fins, you can feel the excitement building. As you step into the turquoise water, the adventure really begins. The mask fits perfectly against your face, and with every breath you take through your snorkel, you're immersed in a world of colorful fish and beautiful coral. You'll soon feel free and alive as you glide smoothly through the water. Choosing the right snorkel gear really makes all the difference in your snorkeling experience in Bonaire. That's why it's important to be well prepared, so you can fully enjoy the beauty that lies beneath the surface.<\/p>

The Snorkel Mask<\/strong>
A well-fitting snorkel mask is the key to a great experience. First of all, it is important that the mask fits your face shape perfectly. Therefore, get good advice in the dive shop. Once you have chosen a good mask and you are at the water's edge, you can use a handy trick to prevent the mask from fogging up: put a few drops of baby shampoo on the glasses. Then, when you are in the water, immerse the mask and rinse the shampoo out with your fingers. From that moment on, you do not have to worry about a fogged mask.<\/p>

Additionally, it is advisable to keep the mask on your face as much as possible. Every time you take it off, you run the risk of it fogging up, which interferes with your visibility underwater. Also, ensure there is no hair between your face and the mask to create a perfect seal. If you have a mustache, you can apply a little Vaseline to the hairs to prevent water from entering. Furthermore, it is important to position the mask strap correctly \u2013 above your ears and at the thickest part of the back of your head. Finally, place the snorkel in your mouth and carefully lower yourself into the water.<\/p>

If you do get some water in your mask, don't panic! By breathing in through your snorkel and blowing out through your nose, you can easily remove the water from your mask. And if you didn't bring your own mask, don't worry – we always have professional masks for our guests during the snorkel tour.<\/p>

The Fins<\/strong>
On Bonaire, you don't often come across soft, white sandy beaches. Instead, the bottom often consists of coral, where scorpion fish can hide. Because these fish are poisonous, it is wise to always wear water shoes. However, not all fins leave room for shoes, which can be difficult. Therefore, it is advisable to use fins with an open heel. These fins have adjustable straps, so they can easily be tightened or loosened. Fortunately, we also have these open very fins available for our guests during the snorkel tour.<\/p>

Water shoes<\/strong>
Although you can buy water shoes here on Bonaire, it is often useful to bring them from home. They offer extra protection against the rough coral and possible sea creatures. Of course, you can also choose to use the water shoes that we provide during our snorkeling tours.<\/p>

All in a row:<\/strong>
– Choose a well-fitting snorkel mask that fits snugly against your face.
– Use baby shampoo to prevent fogging.
– Make sure the mask strap sits above your ears and fits snugly.
– Breathe in through your snorkel and blow out through your nose to remove water from your mask.
– Choose fins with an open heel for extra comfort and ease of use.
– Wear water shoes to protect your feet from coral and scorpionfish.<\/p>

With these tips and the right equipment, nothing will stand in the way of an unforgettable snorkeling experience on Bonaire!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
