What language did snorkel come from

The presence of menstrual fluid (remember-you are not hemorrhaging-it is not "blood" per se but "menses"--the lining of the uterine wall that is red with blood cells from the interaction with your blood vessels) in the water will not attract sharks right away, although they may sense the presence of red blood cells in the water and come to investigate at night (which is when they tend to hunt anyway) long after you are already out of the water.

Depending on where you are in your cycle, the cold of the sea water at most snorkeling sites may be extremely uncomfortable for you, especially on the first or second day of your period. Remember when your mother told you to keep your hands out of cold water while you are having your period? She was right! Cold water temperatures contract the uterus and make you menstrate harder, creating cramps or nausea. I have a retroverted uterus, which made this situation a whole lot worse in the days before menopause! But, on the few times I tried it, some Extra Strength Tylenol allowed me to snorkel slowly anyway and enjoy my trip--although not as much as I usually do!

Be sure to always have tampons with you and put in a fresh one (or even two) well before you snorkel. The bathrooms at most snorkeling facilities or on most boats are not very clean or comfortable for changing purposes, and used tampons gum up the system on a "marine head" type toilet, creating extra problems for the boat and its crew. There are new products on the market such as "Instead" (functions much like a diaphragm) that will stop the external flow for several hours while you are on a snorkeling trip that might be a good substitute, although these are too new for me to have given it a try before menopause.

Make sure to have some fresh sanitary napkins with you for after your swim. Once again, I learned this lesson the hard way! Swimming wets the tampon(s) even more, and you may very well "leak" from the tampon(s) once you are out of the water! On one occasion in Bermuda, I did not realize this, and the guys on the boat had to follow around after me with a hose, washing off the deck once I got out of the water!! Fortunately, they had no idea it was me who was causing the problem, since there were a lot of other women on the trip with us!! They just assumed it was one "of the women" who was creating the mess on the deck!! <VBG> Embarrassing for me all the same!! If you are into the heavy phase of your period, go to the bathroom (or find a private spot) and just stick a napkin onto or under the loose nylon pocket of your suit. This just takes a few seconds and will make you feel more secure and comfortable.

The longer the snorkel the harder it is - presuming you would swim at a greater depth - to draw air through it. A consideration would also be the difficulty of handling an undoubtedly unwieldy tube at longer lengths.

That would be a snorkel.

I'm no doctor, but I would think just being in an outdoor water activity should be better than sitting at home.

Other than that, snorkeling on the surface is not much more than simple breathing, but if you occasionally hold your breath and shallow-dive to see more, it would be akin to being on shore and holding your breath, if that increases lung function.

Wetsuits are suppose to keep you warm in the ocean or cold water. They keep you warm by creating a thin layer of water between your skin and the wet suit. Your body heat warms up this thin layer of water keeping you warm.

Snorkeling is not too much of a difficult thing and is easy to teach your self if you are in a safer environment. If you tried teaching yourself how to snorkel in a pool/lake where you can touch, or right off of a coast where you can also touch and there is no waves would be ideal. If you don't have access to any of these beginner areas, I would advise a payed lesson or one from a friend, just to ensure safety.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water, and allow to dry out of direct sunlight.

When you buy a new mask, remember to scrub the inside of the lense with a toothbrush and toothpase to get the protective oily film off. Otherwise it will fog up even if you use spit or defog when diving.

Snorkel fins are used during snorkeling activities, and are worn on the feet. While they are not necessary, many snorkelers find them useful, as they allow one to move more quickly when swimming underwater.

Goggles are designed to protect your eyes from the water, yet to be sleek and unobtrusive at the same time, so as not to interfere with your speed and motion. The rubber that surrounds the goggles is meant to keep water away from the eyes. ---- Note that diving to any depth over perhaps 6' with goggles that do not encompass the nose can cause a wide range of injuries. The pressure inside the goggles remains constant, as the external pressure increases. This is compensated by compression, where the goggles are pressed deeper into your eye sockets, hemmorhage, where blood takes up the slack, or a variety of other equally unpleasant events. Divers get around this by having masks that cover the nose as well, so you can expel air into the mask, thuse equalizing the pressure. Cjonb 23:26, 2 Jun 2008 (UTC)

make a snorkel that is more than a meter long so u can go deeper ?

the one that you can get to! seriously though, here is an awesome site that that summarizes all the best shore diving (and snorkeling) places in the world. A few that I can highly recommend is Foster's park in West Palm Beach Florida and numerous spots down in the keys but my favorite had to be tiny little island just outside of the Garden Island Resort in FIJI

Depends on the location and the cost of the equipment. Also depends on whether you rent a boat, equipment, etc.

Well the first thing you must be aware of are the dangers of breath hold diving (free diving).

Basically the more efficiently you use your oxygen (O2), the longer it will last. The fitter you are, the more efficiently your body will use its O2 supply. The more relaxed you are and the less energy you use, the slower your heart will beat, so again, less O2 used. Yoga is good for this and teaches you breathing excercises.

There's also a psychological aspect - can you resist the urge to gasp for air when your body tells you to? This is caused by hightened levels of Carbon Dioxode (CO2) in your body. Although you can ignore this urge, it is a natural defence to stop you asphyxiating.

You may hear talk of hyperventilating before a free dive - but do this too much, and you will lower your CO2 levels so much that when you need O2, your body won't have enough CO2 to tell you! This can lead to death!

I would suggest if you want to take this seriously, you take an intro into free diving with a registered free diving school.

Above all, dive safe and don't dive alone!
