Back in 2010, I was on a crusade to get the Maldives recognised as the best snorkeling in the world. One of the classic PR tactics for getting some visibility is to get declared a national holiday (eg. Scotch Tape Day and Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day). But when looking for a “World Snorkeling Day”, I couldn’t find one…so I declared it. I was a bit presumptuous of me, but (most) every 30 June, I posted a celebratory piece of the nascent (celebration) with a nod of the Maldives’ pre-eminence in this domain. Well, as it turns out, the initiative as stuck, and now National Today has acknowledged World Snorkeling Day.
May your Snorkeling Day be filled with exciting snorkel spottings and the tranquil dazzle of underwater grandeur.
