Unlike what most people believe, snorkelling requires very little swimming. It’s a simple process of floating on the sea’s surface with a snorkel (the tube that you breathe air in through) and mask (to cover the face and primarily protect the eyes from saline seawater) strapped on. This is an activity that even non-swimmers can enjoy if they are able to take a few precautions.
Maldives, Indonesia, Philippines, Caribbean islands, Australia etc offer some of the best snorkelling destinations in the world on account of their coral reefs. However, although this seemingly benign activity comes with many delights, there are also a few precautions that you need to take before you embark on this sport.
So, here is a list of a few simple things to keep in mind before & when you go snorkelling:

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
