Snorkeling is a more superficial activity than diving. To practice it, you only need a breathing tube that allows you to breathe air from the surface, without the need to submerge. This allows you to observe the marine life that inhabits the shallow waters.
Diving, on the other hand, is a deeper activity than snorkeling. To practice it, it is necessary to use special equipment, such as an air tank, a regulator, a mask, fins and a life jacket. This allows you to explore the marine world at depths of up to 40 meters.
