Andy Torbet is something of a stickler when it comes to planning his diving and snorkelling missions . Here are his tips
Although I advocate year-round snorkelling , I understand that for most of us the season tends to run from spring to autumn . So , if you ’ re reading this on publication , your thoughts are probably turning to what snorkelling adventures 2025 could have in store for you . But since these will not arrive unbidden at our doorstep it ’ ll be up to us to create the year we want .
