Beihai Snorkeling Guide

Beihai Snorkeling Guide: Location - Shiluokou Beach, Weizhou Island: Shiluokou Beach on the west coast of Weizhou Island is a popular snorkeling spot. There are many types of coral here, concentrated 100–500 meters offshore. The seabed is shallow and gentle, with small ocean currents and low tidal differences, making it suitable for snorkeling. - Beigang, Weizhou Island: The waters 500 meters outside Beigang Village in the north of Weizhou Island are a shallow coral reef area. Coral reefs can be seen about 3 meters underwater, making it suitable for snorkeling. - Xieyang Island: Located 9 nautical miles from Weizhou Island, this is a pristine island with clear waters. You can choose a great spot on the island to snorkel and see coral and small fish. Equipment - Basic equipment: Generally available for rent at dive shops, including masks, snorkels, fins, and life jackets. You can also buy your own. It is recommended to choose a mask that fits your face and has a clear view, and a comfortable snorkel. Choose fins according to your strength and habits. - Sun protection: A rash guard can protect you from the sun and prevent scratches from reefs. Wearing a mask sun shield can reduce sunburn around the mask. Apply high SPF waterproof sunscreen, and avoid sunscreens containing chemical sunscreens from coming into contact with coral. - Other items: Prepare a waterproof bag to store your phone, camera, and other items. If you want to record your snorkeling experience, you can bring an underwater camera or sports camera. Precautions - Physical condition: Make sure you are in good health before snorkeling. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, and other diseases, and women during menstruation should not snorkel. - Environmental awareness: Do not touch or damage coral reefs and marine life, and do not throw garbage into the ocean. - Follow instructions: Follow the coach's arrangements, understand the snorkeling area and safety precautions, and do not go to dangerous areas. - Pay attention to breathing: Master the use of the snorkel to avoid physical discomfort caused by improper breathing. If you experience shortness of breath or dizziness, inform the coach immediately.
