Snorkelling is yet another popular water sport in Goa. It is one of the best and unique day trip in goa at the moment. I will recommend each and every tourist visiting Goa not to miss out on an ISLAND trip with SNORKELING in Goa. Like scuba diving, it is also meant for undersea exploration. However, it is relatively simpler than scuba diving, as it involves a simple breathing apparatus for breathing. A bent tube provides the diver with fresh air as he bends down into the shallow water to observe underwater life. It does not require much training; almost any healthy person can engage in snorkeling.
