What is drift snorkeling?
Drift snorkeling refers to simply floating passively on the sea surface while using snorkeling gear to observe below. It differs from "active" snorkeling in that the snorkelers do not use fins to propel themselves along, unless they see something they want a closer look at. This is a good technique in certain circumstances, such as when there is a current to move you along AND a nearby boat drifting along with you. Without the "rescue boat" nearby, it can put you in a difficult or even dangerous situation because you may be focused upon the world beneath the water and be unaware of how far you have gone or even where you are.
