Another rule — in the daytime wear a hat. All are perfect — light cotton Panama or straw hat. It is useful to keep on hand a bottle of thermal water. It is, incidentally, not only refreshing, but also prevents dehydration of the skin, so frequent in the South.

Flora and fauna
Insects and denizens of the deep are not so harmless as it may seem at first glance.

The same applies to contacts with exotic fish-better safe than sorry and get immediate medical help.

In the early days choose something more familiar to your stomach — in the end, they, too, need to adapt!

Water treatments
Water trouble can trap quite a sports girls. At a depth of unexpected delays, fell asleep on the mattress and swam beyond the buoys...
