Never snorkel alone
Never alone. For safety reasons, always take someone with you.
Know your gear
Know your equipment. While in shallow waters, develop the confidence to use the mask and breathe through the snorkel. Always breathe consistently.
Problems snorkeling
“Uh, oh… it’s not working.” It is common for your snorkel and mask to fill with water. To remove water from the tube, exhale forcefully, this will expel it from the tube. If water gets into the mask, just swim to the surface, lift your mask a little and let the water out. 
Broom
Floating. In deep waters, take your time to get used to the flippers to keep afloat.
Close to shore
Stay close to shore. Just as a precaution, it’s better to keep close to shore.
Tired in the water
If you get tired. When you get tired, just rotate your body upwards and change into a semi-sitting position. This lets you rest and breathe comfortably. You can also use a life jacket; reducing your efforts in the water.
