USCTrojans_Fan Posted December 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I am thinking of getting this for our upcoming cruise in January. Can someone please tell me if this is a good set for someone who doesn't snorkel on a regular basis? http://www.sportchalet.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1443932 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantwaittogo0114 Posted December 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Try costco, they have great snorkling sets there. $52.00 cdn we bought our 2 kids 17 &14 sets last year for when we went to cuba.

USCTrojans_Fan Posted December 10, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Thanks, I'll check it out. The set in the link that I posted is actually on sale right now for $40.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantwaittogo0114 Posted December 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2007 it looks like both sets are very similar the most important is " the snorkel's dry top closes when submerged." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaran Posted December 11, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi, That's a good price. The issue with buying on line is you don't know if the mask will fit properly or not. If you have a "normal" face, whatever that is, then things will be fine. I prefer to pay a bit more and buy my mask at a local dive shop where I can try on a wide assortment and chose the one that fits the best. I can deal with a leaky snorkel or fins a bit tight but a mask that fills up everytime I put my face in the water would be considered a "deal breaker".

Randall The Sport Chalet store that has them on sale is near my home, so I will be able to try it out to make sure it fits properly. If it doesn't work out, I will go visit a local dive shop. As far as I know, I do have a "normal" face. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
