Top 5 Things to Look Out For That You Might Miss When Snorkelling
By Ninja Shark’s founder (and water enthusiast), Andrew Porter
You already know that there are lots of beautiful fish species to see underwater, but what else should you look out for when snorkelling? Here are our top 5 things to see underwater that aren’t fish… pop on your snorkel mask and go explore these incredible sights!
1. Shipwrecks
Do a little research and you’d be surprised at how many shipwrecks there are underwater, just waiting to be discovered. Full of mystery, beauty, and adventure, there’s nothing like popping on your snorkel mask and exploring a shipwreck underwater.
2. Volcanic bubbles
Ever wanted to swim in a sea of champagne bubbles? In some parts of Dominica, you can. The Caribbean island is dotted with underwater volcanoes, and jumping in with a snorkel on gives you the best chance of experiencing these beauties up close and personal.

3. Tectonic plates
Tectonic plates are huge slabs of solid rock that basically hold the Earth together, and in Iceland, you can snorkel in between two tectonic plates. It’s the only place on the planet where you can slither your body in these deep grooves…
4. Jellyfish
There’s jellyfish, and then there’s jellyfish. Don’t underestimate the serious beauty and grace of jellyfish! As long as they’re not the dangerous kind, snorkelling amongst a sea of jellyfish gives you a chance to examine their weird bodies up close, rather than from the sand.

5. Coral reefs
Let’s face it, you just can’t experience a coral reef properly unless you have a good snorkel mask on. Crystal clear vision of all the incredible colours, textures, and shapes of coral reefs gives you such a wonderful insight into the massive world underwater. The fish are a bonus!
How many people dream of snorkelling but don't feel comfortable wearing a snorkel mask?
The answer is: too many! Traditional snorkel masks can be uncomfortable and scary for many people, so the beauty of snorkelling goes undiscovered and unexperienced. Whether it's breathing difficulties, choking on sea water, or foggy goggles, there's a lot that prevents people from enjoying the wonderful sport of snorkelling. And that thought makes us sad.
We think everyone should be able to enjoy the underwater world - safely, comfortably, and easily. That's why we created Ninja Shark and our revolutionary line of full face snorkel masks. They're designed to be super comfy, easy-to-use, and make snorkelling accessible for all. Because nobody should miss out on discovering what's under the sea.

The Influencer @lud.around doesn’t believes just in snorkelling, but in the entire experience of it. When NinjaShark asked her what is in her beach bag everytime she goes on a vacation, she said, “Ninja Shark: I'm not leaving my room without the mask. The full face snorkeling mask from Australia is comfortable and fit me perfectly! Love how easy it is to breath out your nose and mouth when you snorkeling and even has earplugs! ”
“The mask include GOPRO mounts, so you can easily film and photograph underwater scenery! I highly recommend especially to people who have a fear of snorkeling! This mask is really easy to use and is safe!” said @lud.around. “I can’t wait for my next trip with my new mask!”

Our founder Andrew and Alizee are lifelong entrepreneurs and happy husband and wife. Andrew, is the visionary and marketing genius behind Ninja Shark. He’s always loved to swim and explore vast open waters, whether that be in a river, lake, or sea. Since he started snorkelling with a full face mask and flippers, however, his fascination with the underwater world has become unstoppable. Andrew always says: “The sea will be conquered!”
Alizee, is first and foremost a child of the land and avid hiker, with her passion for mysterious underwater life coming in second. In her past life (as in, before Ninja Shark life), Alizee created and sold a real estate company and managed the backend of numerous other businesses. She’s the glue that keeps Ninja Shark from busting at the proverbial seams as it grows from its current state of small Aussie family business. She’s the business brain, taking care of all things logistical and numeric, she’s the “life saver of the company”.
Ninja Shark started out more as a passion than a business.
Since Andrew and Alizee loved to go underwater so much, they tried to take their friends with them. We’ve all been in that situation where we try to share an incredible experience with loved ones, and that’s where Andrew and Alizee were at. But every so often, they’d come across someone who just couldn’t manage to breathe through a tube with their nose blocked (i.e, snorkelling).
It’s a wide held belief amongst the general public that snorkelling can be a little difficult. It’s fair enough – breathing seems unnatural with a snorkel, and the mouthpiece might be considered uncomfortable or unhygienic. The mask’s field of vision can be quite narrow, and when it fogs up you don’t really get to enjoy the underwater marvels so much.
You might be reading this as a snorkeller and scoffing, but it’s all true! Many studies have been conducted on the beaches of Europe, China, and Brazil, and the results all share the same sentiment: snorkelling is often considered difficult by the general public.
So, that was what started Andrew and Alizee off on their journey, where they eventually found the concept of a full face mask. Although the idea was already on the market, it was in its early beginnings, and they had to be sure it was something worth recommending to their friends.
Andrew and Alizee tested at least 6-7 types of full face masks, each with their own unique differences. They were surprised to find so much variation between the different types of full face masks, despite it being a relative newcomer to the scene.
Over the next 12 months, Andrew and Alizee worked tirelessly writing down, testing, adapting, studying, and testing again, to come up with the most advanced full face mask on the market.
And that’s how Ninja Shark can offer you the numerous improvements made to the special v2.0 Full Face Mask Model.
“If you thought we’re just here to sell you products, think again. You’re part of the Ninja Shark family, and your feedback matters! We’re constantly working to improve our products and deliver the full face snorkel mask that exists only in our dreams!”
What customers are saying about us…
“Never been so calm in the water
I really love the set! I’ve never used such a great mask where I didn’t have to worry about whether I was breathing through my nose as it allows me to do so! The vision is great, and I am so keen to keep on snorkelling. When I ran into some mishaps during my first time using the mask (lost one of the wheel-like valves that separate the eye area from the breathing area to the ocean and the phone case was dysfunctional), Andrew was so lovely to send me a whole new mask with the valves glued in and a new phone case for free despite me only asking for spare valves! I really appreciated the company’s dedication to giving the customer the best experiences.I could dive with ease!!I’m glad my friend introduced me to this company and convinced me to splurge my money on this set in order to save myself from buying a cheaper, lower quality one now and buying something like this later in life.” – Audrey Y.
