How can I ensure my snorkeling buddy and I stay safe together?

Establish a buddy system before entering the water. Agree on hand signals to communicate while snorkeling, especially in case of emergencies.

• Keep an eye on each other at all times. If one person needs to surface or has any issues, the other should be aware and ready to assist.

• Choose a designated meeting point in case you get separated. This is especially important in areas with strong currents.

• Make sure to discuss the snorkeling area beforehand, including potential hazards and safe zones, to keep both of you informed and prepared.
