Welcome To Snorkel Around The World,
Get snorkeling information, equipment tips, destination guides, and underwater camera recommendations from expert snorkelers who have been on the road for 10+ years to discover the best spots around the world.
Hy there!
We’re Anett and Adam, the small but enthusiastic team behind Snorkel Around The World. We are pro snorkelers (and certified scuba divers) with more than 10 years of experience traveling to the world’s best snorkeling destinations, buying and fitting equipment, and underwater photography.
When we launched this website in 2015, our goal was to share our experience with fellow snorkelers who are looking for tips on where to go next and what equipment to choose. Also, we wanted to inspire people who have never tried this underwater activity to grab a mask and put on flippers to discover how fantastic the undersea world is.
Over the years, we have snorkeled at numerous spots all over the world in various conditions, tried lots of good and bad gear, captured thousands of photos using different cameras, encountered unique sea creatures, saw beautiful healthy reefs, and sadly, also bleached corals.
We published so many posts (and constantly publishing as we explore new places and test new gear) that this blog has turned into an extensive source of snorkeling information where both beginners and advanced snorkelers will find helpful advice, tips, and guides to help make the most out of their next trip and create unforgettable underwater memories.
So, what this website can do for you?
We want to help you on your underwater journey with:
- general snorkeling information, including the basics and important safety tips
- snorkel gear guides to find the best equipment
- snorkeling destination reviews to make your where-to-travel decisions easier
- waterproof camera recommendations and snorkeling photography tips to make you better at capturing the beauty of the oceans
- ocean facts and conservation news so we learn together how to protect our waters and leave the smallest impact on marine life
We hope you will enjoy our site and find valuable information here!
If you have questions or any feedback, feel free to contact us!
