Your first time snorkeling is often life changing. I know it was for me (after all, it lead to all of this site). My first time was when I was eight at Hanauma Bay in Hawaii. Once I learned to relax the underwater world was a marvel. I stayed in the water so long I was freezing when I came out and had to eat some oranges just to warm up!
One of our site visitors Elizabeth Ginocchio who lives in Bonaire kindly shared this story of her first time snorkeling, which surprisingly was after 10 years of diving.
"I was a diver for over 10 years. In 2004 for medical reasons I could not dive for 2 years. This is when I started to snorkel. It came easy to me as a diver, as I was used to the mask and snorkel because of diving. The first time I snorkeled it was for 2.5 hours! I was hooked! My husband, who has been a diver for over 30 years used to say "I would have no use for Bonaire" if I could not dive, then when we went snorkeling, he said "OMG....I can't believe it, what an amazing thing! Due to our business and time constraints, I now only dive a couple of times a year, but I snorkel at least 2 x a month minimum. It is amazing how much you can see, and you don't have to Scuba Dive."
