Im not quite sure what gave me an epileptic fit first the music or the footage !

Thats a bit harsh on the little bloke, only 13yo
Looks like his new toy and his stocked with his efforts.

Well done ITSON


(but yes, the music is very epileptic)

you might need a betterplay list

I know nothing about copyright but maybe the Jaws theme would have worked better

Good work ITSON! I took my (9yo) son snorkelling in the Glenelg River estuary over Xmas & I think he's hooked & I'm re-hooked! Looking forward to doing a bit of snorkelling/diving in the ocean around the local reefs - it's great fun.

Try some fins , buoyancy control and proper use of the snorkel which involves breathing nice and slow and just relax a bit more! Also keep the go pro as solid as possible like don't wave it round just pan the camera nice and slow looking for interesting stuff!

As southace said - breathing is your best bouyancy tool. I tried to get my young fella to do a couple of deeper dives with me - explained how to expel the water from the snorkel on surfacing etc...unfortunately he didn't expel the water properly & copped some water in his lungs! He was ok after I made him take a short break but it's something to be very careful of. Fins definitely make a difference (you don't need the split fins like southace's - although they are great, they take a bit of getting used to.)

A good tip I recommend , use your tounge in your snorkel when you surface expell the water but don't in hale until you can feel with your tongue that all the water is clear....... Main thing with diving and snorkel is just keep nice and calm and relaxed you will find it a lot Easyer if you take your time and relax...there really is no rush unless mums cooking lamb roast! Haha
