Who hasn&rsquo;t ever been curious about what lives in the sea? Some of us satisfy that curiosity with books that tell us about wonderful flora and fauna, others choose to devour audiovisual material. And those are good places to start but, wouldn&rsquo;t you like to take it a step further? Have you ever wondered how easy or complicated it is to live the experience of exploring the sea on your own? If you are an ocean lover like us, you have probably already snorkeled somewhere and, if you have, you surely thrive for more.
