First Time Snorkeling

Ever since Emma started to learn _____1______ the sea she had wanted to go
snorkeling. She had seen so many pictures of underwater life - the coral reefs and the
____2_____ that live in them. She wanted very much to see these things for _______.

In the summer her family went on a holiday to the Caribbean where the 4 was clear
blue. So, for the first time ever, Emma was able to try snorkeling.

As soon as they got to their hotel, Emma went out with her mum to buy some
snorkeling gear. She knew that you needed a mask and pipe (called a snorkel) which
you breathe through. Her mum also treated her to a pair of bright red flippers so that
she could swim around more easily.

Emma's family was invited to go on a special snorkel boat which took them to the
spots where they would be able to see really big fish. Everyone was excited. They
couldn't believe how clear and blue the water was. Not like the sea in England.
Looking over the side of the boat, Emma could see all the way down to the bottom of
the sea.

The boat stopped and everyone jumped into the water. The sea was really warm! It
took a while to get used to using the snorkel but Emma's dad showed her how to use
it properly so that she could breathe with her face in the water.

There was a whole new world underwater. Red fish, yellow fish, fish with blue and
pink spots. Long ones, fat ones, flat ones and round ones. Some of the fish were
bigger than her head!

Right below her a large stingray glided past. It was bigger than herl She knew that
stingrays were very gentle so she wasn't worried. It was amazing how it moved so
easily in the water. Her dad dived down and swam along with it.

Her brother showed off, diving down and picking up shells from the sea bed. Every
time she tried to copy him she breathed in a whole lot of salty sea water!

"Oh well," she thought. She had all of the holiday to practice!
