snorkelguy69 Posted January 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi, I recently bought a ScubaMax snorkel vest with a pocket but the crotch strap is too short and I can't find the crotch strap extension ANYWHERE online. I'm going on vacation soon and it really soon. Please help!! Thank you! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted January 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Maybe you could return yours? I did see this. Maybe you don't necessarily even need a 'snorkel vest' extension. Possibly just something like this? Looks like the same kind of fastner. In fact, even my dog's collar fastens like this, so maybe you could take your vest to the pet store to try it out out on a large collar. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCruiser54 Posted January 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I had the same problem due to height. I went to Academy and looked in their lifejacket section and camping gear section and came up with an adjustable strap that could be used. It did not hook directly in, but acted as an extension that would work and was adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted January 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2012 If you can return it consider looking at www.leisurepro.com They specialize in dive equipment, they have a number of vests, and they appear to be less expensive. We purchased one from them and it was fine. I am sure you could call them and find out the length of the strap and if it is too short work with them on an alternative.

MsABGilroy Posted January 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Personally, I don't like the "happy" strap and just hook it on one of the side hooks (I don't wear it and don't wear a vest unless they insist) Angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkelguy69 Posted January 17, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Snorkel Tigger, Your idea is the best. I have to use a crotch strap or the vest will ride up on me. I can't believe I can't find any of these anywhere! I used to be able to find them online easily. If anyone does run across one, please let me know, thank you.
