Typical hazards & measures
Cramping from physical exertion
— Encourage proper stretching and hydration before entering the water. Schedule regular rest periods during the session and monitor participants for signs of cramping. Instructors should be ready to assist with water exits if cramping occurs.
Propeller injuries
— Choose snorkeling areas away from boating zones. If using boats, ensure all engines are turned off when snorkelers are in the water. Use propeller guards on boats and brief participants on the dangers of swimming near boats.
Marine stingers
— Brief participants on avoiding jellyfish or other stinging marine life. Monitor the water for signs of dangerous creatures, and keep vinegar or other treatments on hand for stings. Abort activity if stinger risks are high.
Full-face masks
— Ensure participants using full-face masks receive specialized training on proper use, especially regarding airflow and clearing the mask. Monitor participants closely for signs of discomfort or panic, and have alternative gear available. Do not allow younger participants to use full-face masks.
Exertion during swimming
— Tailor the session length and intensity to the fitness level of the group. Include frequent rest breaks, both on land and in the water, and provide floatation devices to reduce physical strain. Encourage participants to signal if they feel fatigued.
