snorkel - inhale when you put the mask on to create the seal (test when you pick it up) usu. they'll check to make sure you have the right size before you leave.

start with shallow water until you gain confidence and don't need to "escape" and stand. don't freak when you go underwater and all you really hear is your own cardiovascular system. it's kinda soothing.

some people "free dive" with snorkel, but for a first timer, just paddling around at the surface is great.

after I got over the breathing/claustrophobia thing, it was the change in depth perception that was the oddest. (objects through the mask are farther than they seem)

and that's about it.

but if you ask for pointers, I'm sure they'll be gladly given.

but, scuba - classes. definitely.
