Whether you're going to the beach on vacation or you've rented a cottage on the lake, a jet ski or better yet a pair of them, can add some serious fun and excitement to the trip. Jet skis can be purchased or rented in a number of locations and are fairly simple for almost anyone to learn how to use. They do, however, require some basic understanding of the rules of the water.

Jet skis are considered personal watercraft. Not exactly like water skis and not exactly a boat, these allow their users to speed on the water while enjoying some great scenery and fun. Safety, however, should be paramount when using a jet ski.

Here is some advice to consider before diving in (or on) to the water with a jet ski: * Bear in mind at all times that jet skis are fun, but they are not toys. Accidents can happen and do happen and most are avoidable. * All in all, jet skis are pretty safe. As long as they're kept in good working order, which most rental shops absolutely ensure, they shouldn't be a problem on the water. * Get some training before using a jet ski. Make sure you understand how it works, what you need to do to ride it safely and be aware of any local regulations. There are personal watercraft safety courses people can take to ensure they know what they're doing before they hit the water. * Before heading out in a jet ski, check weather reports. It's never a good idea to be stuck in a storm in a boat or jet ski. * Know the terrain. Be certain you understand how to read water hazard markers and are aware of any obstructions, such as reefs and sandbars, that might cause accidents. * Wear a life jacket. This one bears repeating again and again. * If exploring on a jet ski is in order, make sure someone on land knows your desired route, where you're going and when you expect to be back. * Wear protective clothing. It's not always necessary, but goggles, a wet suit and protective footwear can make the experience that much better - and safer. * Follow local laws in the water. Yes, there are speed limits in the water. Heed them! In places like Florida, for example, manatee and alligators can get in the way of fun, generally to their own detriment. Speed limits are enforced in areas where high-speed action can present a danger to an operator, an animal or both.

Adding a little jet ski action through a rental is a great way to kick up the fun factor of a vacation. But, if knowledge and caution aren't in place, sometimes problems can occur. Be smart and know how to operate a craft safely before diving in. Do not forget a lifejacket and don't be afraid to take a class to learn more.

Jet skis are favored by many who like the freedom they offer in the water. Giving a different feel than water skis or boats, perhaps a mix is the best description, these personal craft can be a real blast, too. When common sense is taken along on the ride, nothing can pump up the water fun quite like a jet ski.
