How do you breathe when snorkeling?

Question

i'm confused because doesn't water stop you from breathing through your nose and when you breathe trough your mouth is that difficult?

please help because i dont want to look silly when it's time to go snorkeling on our holday in fiji next week... (--yEY!!!!:~)

THANK YOU

Answer 1

You breath through your mouth.

Answer 2

your nose is covered by the goggles (as well as your eyes) and you have a pipe to breathe out of which goes from your mouth to above the water! just make sure u dont go too deep else you'll be breathing in water lol :P

Answer 3

you have a mask on and that covers your nose and the snorkel is in your mouth and you just breat regular and if you go under the water you just need to breath out really hard to clear your snorkel

Answer 4

The goggles cover your eyes and nose, so your mouth is free to breath through the tube.  It's easy once you've had a little practice.

Good luck!

Answer 5

im a snorkel teacher and you breathe through the snorkel if u go under the water you then clear the snorkel thats filled up with water by putting ur head back and blowing hard through the tube

Answer 6

the snorkeling goggles are huge and cover your eyes and your nose (so you cant breathe through your nose) so it leaves you to just breathe through the snorkel. yeah its kind of diffucult to get used to. but good luck!

Answer 7

Through your mouth because the goggles cover your eyes and nose.

Answer 8

u put the snorkel in ur mouth and the top of the snorkel needs to be out of the water.
