Hello. My name is Anna and I am 11 years old. My family and I are the founders of OceanLife.com. I would like to share with you my top five picks for ocean activities.

1) Snorkeling

I always love to put on a mask and snorkel and jump in the water. It's like a whole new beautiful world with all the fish and crabs and all sorts of other things.  

2) Fishing

Fishing is always fun since you never know what you're going to catch. There are all sorts of different techniques and methods, all for catching different kinds of fish. Some of my personal favorite things to catch include wahoo, mahi mahi, drums and cobia.

3) Paddle Boarding 

Whenever I can, I love to take my dog Rio out on the paddle board and paddle us as far as I can go. We go out and watch the dolphins and manatees play and swim under our board. Rio loves it and he sometimes jumps in to go play with the pelicans.

4) Boating

Boating is a fun and relaxing activity for people of all ages. I love to go out in our boat and watch all the sea birds flying and the fish jumping. Sometimes we even bring our grill and have dinner on the water.

5) Free Diving

Free diving is very fun and I love seeing how deep I can go. When you dive down deep, you can see everything close up and a whole lot of life that you may not have noticed before. It's also easy because you don't need any other special equipment other than a mask and flippers.
