Normal
Just to make it clear, there are life jackets and then there are snorkle vests. They are not the same item.I really would think twice about snorkling off a boat( as in over your head) if you really are a complete non swimmer.You should at least know how to doggy paddle and be comfortable in the water, as noted above some people panic when in deep water and that definately affects their ability to keep themselves afloat.I love snorkling, and if you want to try it ,wear the vest, and start snorkling from SHORE before you start jumping off boats in the middle of the ocean!! There are lots of fish near shore also, and you wouldn't start mountain climbing by starting with Everest would you!??? Work your way up.Being on holiday does not guarantee you won't run into trouble, use a smidgeon of common sense and anyone can enjoy this the most wonderful water sport!!
