"Snorkelling"

I Want To Learn Snorkelling
There are some of us who become compulsive about a new hobby. You may well have met them. They simply have to have all the kit and it must be the top of the range. One such was a chap called Bob. Bob had had many different hobbies in his life, golf, computing, guitars, photography, all requiring a huge input of hard-earned cash. He was a guitarist in a well-known band who were off to entertain holiday-makers in Majorca for the summer and so what better new hobby to undertake but Snorkelling? After studying the catalogues and websites who supplied Snorkelling equipment, he duly parted with his readies. Also, a knowledge of the marine life he would expect to encounter was provided by a book from the same supplier. He poured over this intensively. Then came the big day. The band were fortunate to have their daytimes off, of course and so they all went to soak up the sun on the nearest tourist beach. Now he was an expert in Snorkelling and marine life, the rest of the band expected Bob to choose a possibly more rewarding location for his first Snorkelling expedition. No, he donned all his new gear and made his way down the beach and into the sea amongst the kids with inflatables. He waded out to, ooh, waist depth and bent double, putting his face mask into the water. He stayed in this position for a full half hour, making no attempt to swim anywhere, whilst beach balls and swimmers were all around him. Finally getting back to the party on the beach who were by now splitting their sides laughing, Bob took off his mask and earnestly declared `it`s a different world down there`.
