Thx for scuba-shop recommendation!

I just wanted to say thanks to all those posters I've read on these boards that recommend going to a scuba store for advice on snorkeling equipment. I had been leaning toward on-line purchases but didn't have any real idea on what was appropriate. We went to a large scuba store and spent a few hours with an experienced rep who provided great information and helped us select masks that fit (the one DH originally selected felt fine to him but after working with the rep we found it was actually too small for his face), and a good dry snorkel for newbies. We're REALLY excited about our cruise now and will most likely move on to certification after this. Thanks again for being so generous with your experience and enthusiasm - it's contagious!
