anchor your snorkel boat

With so many of our readers living on the water coasts, this means many own their own boats or know those that do. It makes snorkeling for you and your family a different type of snorkeling which is not beach snorkeling but boat snorkeling.

I found this article from Sail-World and it is a great introduction or reminder on how to anchor in waters with coral.  We will give you the numbered tips but we recommend that you take time to read this great article from Sail-World.

1) Arrive when the sun is behind you

2) Eye ball your way over the coral

3) Chart your way in and out

4) Alway have someone at the front while entering the coral

5) Those scouting for coral must wear sunglasses

6) When anchoring use two-way radios or clear hand signals

7) Know what the color of water means

8) Always anchor in sand

Thank you Sail World for the sound words.
