Exercise in the bath or in a pool before trying the ocean. Make sure their first experience is a good one,\u00a0<strong>never force anything<\/strong>, and let the magic happen. Oh, and try to take some pictures or videos. Kids love it when they\u2019re able to see themselves in the past.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-6\" class=\"gallery galleryid-27895 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full\">\n<figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/5-parent-trusted-tips-for-snorkeling-with-kids-in-phu-quoc-island\/img_1326-copy-copy\/#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full size-full lazy-load-active aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1326-Copy-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"Img 1326 Copy Copy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1326-Copy-Copy.jpg\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-27954\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1326-Copy-Copy.jpg 800w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1326-Copy-Copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1326-Copy-Copy-400x300.jpg 400w\" \/><\/a><\/div><figcaption id=\"gallery-6-27954\" class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\">Make sure your kids\u2019 first experience is a good one, never force anything,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/tour\/private-family-snorkeling-adventure-by-speedboat-in-phu-quoc\/\">this customized fun, family-friendly snorkeling journey<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/tour\/rainy-season-training-snorkeling-trip-for-family-with-kids\/\">dedicated training snorkeling trip for young kids<\/a>\u00a0that welcome kids of all ages to Phu Quoc island.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27975\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27975\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27975 lazy-load-active\" src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review.jpg\" alt=\"Review of PRIVATE-Snorkelling at Coral Mountain &amp; U-Turn reef in the early morning\" width=\"557\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review.jpg 1174w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review-800x404.jpg 800w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Guest-review-1000x505.jpg 1000w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Review of PRIVATE-Snorkelling at Coral Mountain &amp; U-Turn reef in the early morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28149\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28149\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28149 lazy-load-active\" src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Branimir and his family joined us on the last New Year's Eve\" width=\"1182\" height=\"634\" data-src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3.jpg 1182w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3-800x429.jpg 800w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3-1024x549.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2-3-1000x536.jpg 1000w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Branimir and his family joined us on the last New Year\u2019s Eve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Understand_About_Water_Conditions_and_Open-water_Safety_Management\"><\/span><span id=\"7_Understand_About_Water_Conditions_and_Open-water_Safety_Management\"><strong>7. Understand About Water Conditions and Open-water Safety Management<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When planning a snorkeling trip with children, the most crucial consideration is safety \u2014 and it begins long before setting foot on a boat. Safety isn\u2019t just about what happens on site; it requires a proactive strategy grounded in understanding open water risks. These include wave height, wave direction, and current strength \u2014 all of which can pose serious dangers, especially when overlooked. Snorkeling in wavy waters, swimming against strong currents (2\u20135m\/s), or entering the water during unfavorable wave directions at coral reefs can be hazardous.<\/p>\n<p>Since nearly all travelers lack expertise in interpreting complex water conditions, it\u2019s essential to choose a trusted operator with the capability to forecast and assess these risks in advance. This allows tours to be scheduled at the safest times and locations, avoiding hidden dangers like shifting currents or rough seas. In Vietnam and Phu Quoc,\u00a0<strong>OnBird<\/strong>\u00a0stands out as a pioneer in this field, implementing a proprietary\u00a0<strong>Open Water Safety Management System<\/strong>. This system monitors and analyzes real-time marine conditions to adapt snorkeling itineraries accordingly, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable marine experience for families and individuals alike.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like snorkeling for introducing your kids to the wonderful underwater ecosystem.\u00a0Unlike scuba diving where you are fully submerged, snorkeling keeps you close to the surface of the water, making it a great outdoor sport that even small kids and those just learning to swim can enjoy.
