However, the principle behind this activity is far from new &#8211; in fact, it is highly similar to the way in which some of the first divers made their foray into exploring the depths of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The helmet used for sea walking is a modern take on the old diving helmets used before. Clear panes on the front and sides of the helmet provides&nbsp;a good view of the&nbsp;surroundings, while a special apparatus pumping in a constant supply of oxygen allows for breathing underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.samui-villa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/snorkelling-at-Samui.jpg\" alt=\"Snorkelling at Samui\" class=\"wp-image-573\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/snorkelling-at-Samui.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/snorkelling-at-Samui-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samui-villa.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/snorkelling-at-Samui-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snorkelling\"><\/span>Snorkelling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The neighbouring islands surrounding Samui are known to present excellent conditions for snorkelling.
