Earth's highest mountain above sea level.

Skin divers of the island Crete in the Mediterranean used hollow reeds to breather while submerged in water as they collected sponges.

An ancient bas-relief dating 900 B.C. depicted divers in Assyria using animal skin filled with air to lengthen their stay underwater.

Alexander the Great encouraged the development of the first diving bell, which was a cauldron designed to trap a pocket of air when it was lowered into the water. This instrument allowed divers to take breaths without needing to go all the way up to the surface to gulp air, but it also limited their mobility. On one of the writings of Aristotle, he mentioned divers using a tube connected to the surface to the snorkel remarking that ít worked like "the trunk of the elephant".

The shell of the tortoise was used to develop a gadget to protect of tortoise the eye.as well as to see more clearly in water. The shell was sliced very thinly until it became translucent then polished for vision clarity. It was then used by the Persian divers.

Leonardo de Vinci proposed and created the first contemporary snorkel, a hollow tube designed attached to the leather-head helmet of the diver, allowing to breathe even when face was sub merged underwater. He also had a sketch of webbed swimming gloves, an idea that led to the modern-day fins.

Benjamin Franklin came up with an idea of using wooden paddles attached to the hands and feet to help swimmers swim faster.

Modern fins were invented by Frenchman Louis de Corlieu. Patent for this was obtained in 1933.

_____________ is peeking through life underneath water by swimming with the aid of a snorkel and mask.

_________ serves as the viewing device in appreciating the world beneath the water.

______________ is a piece of equipment that makes it possible to breathe at the surface while the face is submerged in water.

________________ has most basic part, the solid tube and the mouthpiece. Sometimes, this can be sent to specific shape.

________________ allows the top and mouthpiece to rotate to different angles to better fit the face. It can also drop away from the face when not in use.

____________________ a common feature of many snorkels is the. This is a small valve just lower than the mouth that empties the collected water that comes down the tube when one blows it out.

________________ prevents splashed water and spray from easily entering the tube. However, this will not stop water from entering the tube when a big wave covers the snorkel and when one goes underwater.

_____________________ is a special valve on top of the tube that completely stop water (and air) from entering the tube when a wave comes or when diving underwater. This way, one does not need to clear the water out when coming back to the surface.

Water resists or “pushes back” anything moving through it. This is the principles behind what the fins do. It is the resistance that provides much of the propulsion created by a moving pin.

_________________ are small and inflatable, which provide more buoyancy while floating on water. This will help in consuming less energy in moving around. However, one must take note that snorkel vest is not equivalent and should never be used as a substitute to life vest.

Snorkeling may require one to be under the sun for some time,. In order to protect the skin from the hit of the sun, one may use a good biodegradable sunscreen or a better choice will be wearing a long sleeve rash guard.

_______________ is a big help in keeping hair out of the snorkel and the face as well. It will also help in preventing the scalp from burning on a sunny day.

______________ helps prevent the mask from fogging up. Be sure to choose one that is non-toxic, biodegradable, and alcohol free for one’s protection and for the protection of marine life.

When one feels quite comfortable using the mask and breathing through a snorkel, it is time to start _____________.

The next step is learning to be comfortable with the snorkeling fins. Practice in the deeper part of the water. Float then do the basic flutter stroke, the most common under water kick.

If one wants to go a little deeper to have a better view of the marine life, one can either use the “feet-first” dive or the “head-first” dive.

As described by name, the feet go down first during this dive. Tread vertically in the water then kick upward. As the body sinks down, raise arms above the head. Pull the knees to the chest then lower the head. This will rotate the body to a horizontal position and swim underwater.

While at a horizontal position, kick forward, bend at the hips, and pull knees and arms toward the chest. Thrust legs straight up and maintain a streamlined position to glide into the water. Kick with feet to move deeper down, and then arch back for a horizontal position.

The word “canoe” originated from the Carid word “kenu” which meant _____________.

Canoes were originally made from _______________.

The oldest known canoe, _______________, believed to be constructed between 8200 and 7600 B.C. was found in the Netherlands.

Kayaks or “qajak,” meaning _____________ or “hunter’s boat” originated from the Inuit and Aleut tribes of Arctic North America.

_________________ were used to waterproof the boat. To improve buoyancy, the natives placed air-filled bladders of the seal in the vessels.

The oldest existing kayaks are exhibited in North America Department of the state museum of ethnology in ________________.

________________ a beam in the center of a canoe that allows the canoe to rest on a person’s shoulder when portaging.

_________________ crossbars reinforcing the canoe and prevents sides from pulling apart under load.

_______________ acts as structural support and it defines shape of boat.

_____________ is the front part.

____________ s the rear end.

_____________ for paddler at the bow (if in tandem).

_______________ are the equipment used to maneuver the boat.

______________ are usually used for canoes.

___________ are for kayak.

The man builds the frame from wood or from __________________ and it was the wife’s job to stitch the seal used to cover the frame.
