In fact, snorkeling is a simplified kind of diving, swimming with a mask and snorkel at the surface of the water for those who are afraid of scuba diving, but want to get acquainted with the world of coral reefs, tropical fish and other underwater beauties.

In July, it will be wonderful to do snorkeling in Egypt (though it's excellent all year round, especially near Naama Bay), in Indonesia near the Sunda Islands, Maldives and Seychelles, Bali, the Philippines (Palawan Island and others) and on the island of Nha Trang, Vietnam, where this time falls on the dry season and dive with the mask will be excellent. However, the rainy season is not always an obstacle to this type of recreation, especially as tropical showers are as strong, so fleeting.
