Yesterday was the second #BeachChat on Twitter and it was so much fun. For those of you who missed it, not to worry here`s a recap of the questions and what people said. And you can always join the next one, every last #BeachThursday of the month.
Q1. Which one do you prefer: snorkeling/diving or both? Why? #BeachChat
By
@MNomades A1 like diving for deep / quick explorations and snorkeling for looong shallow swims 😉 #BeachChatBy
@trover A1. Snorkeling is great for long casual swims. Kind of like strolling, but for lazy people! #BeachChat
Q2. Which was the smallest/biggest animal you have come across with while diving/snorkeling? #BeachChat
By
@AntiTourist #beachchat A2. In Malaysia I pet a wild turtle–it swam up to me. In Thailand, giant grouper (5′ long) glared my way.
By
@1step2theleft A.2. Biggest: Whale shark and Hammerhead shark. Smallest: Pigmy seahorse. But I prefer the big stuff! 🙂 #BeachChat
Q3. Longest diving session you ever experienced and what did you like about it? #BeachChat
By
@Tripeese A3 Longest-Hmmm I think I’ve stayed down for about an hour. I love just floating around. #beachchat
Q4. Where was your most memorable snorkeling/diving experience & share a pic if possible? #BeachChat
By
@jkheaton A4. Best was probably all over French Polynesian islands. Grand Cayman always fun. Even great snorkeling in Bermuda! #BeachChat
Q5. Do you have good underwater photography tips? #BeachChat
By
@awolamericans A5. I’d highly recommend a GoPro. Not paid 2 endorse them – have just ended up with some great above & below water photos and videos #BeachChat
Q6. Do you think cage shark diving is ethical? #BeachChat
By @GeoramaTravel A6 It isn’t unethical…but not so sure if it is ethical either. Gray area. Q6 Do you think cage shark diving is ethical? #BeachChat
By
@wildblogs A6. I don’t see it as unethical but rather a chance to learn and understand them better #BeachChat
Q7. Where did you first qualify as a diver and how did you feel first time you had to breathe through a regulator? #BeachChat
By
@Lozula A7 –
I’ve only ever done one dive, no qualifications, open water. I’m going with… weird. #beachchat
By
@Tripeese A7: Vera Luka, Croatia. It was nerve-wrecking. I felt slightly panicked my 1st time, but was hooked #beachchat
By
@SuitcaseBrenna A7: Open Water in Thailand, Advanced in Indonesia, Rescue in Colombia. It’s always felt so natural to me, the regulator was fine! #BeachChat
Q8. Which dive/snorkeling spot is still on your wish list? #BeachChat
By
