The depth to which one can snorkel depends on several factors, including physical ability, experience, and the snorkeling environment. The average snorkeler can swim down 3-4 meters (12-15 feet) without issue, while experienced snorkelers may reach 7 meters (25 feet). However, a snorkel mask may fill up with CO2 and make it difficult to breathe.
Scuba diving is not for scuba students, as they are not expected or allowed to dive as deep as the average snorkeler can. The deepest you can snorkel is around 1.5 to 2 feet deep before it becomes impossible. Most snorkels are only about 12-15 feet deep, and water pressure can be too high on your chest.
Snorkelers typically stay within shallow waters ranging from 1 to 5 meters (3 to 16 feet) deep, allowing you to float comfortably. The pressure underwater goes up about 1 atm for every 10 meters deeper that you go, and if you say it right, your lungs would have trouble. The average depth for snorkeling is usually around 3 to 10 feet, although this can vary depending on the location and specific snorkeling site.
In summary, it is essential to check and ensure proper equipment for snorkeling to avoid panic and hysteria.
