It's almost spring! The weather is beautiful and the ocean is getting warmer. What better day trip can you think of than packing up your gear and heading to the beach? It can be a great excursion for everyone from kids to adults. While loading up your picnic, swimsuits, towels and sunscreen don't forget the snorkel gear for the great adventure under the sea. Snorkeling is a great way to experience the ocean in a whole new light. Only a limited amount of equipment is necessary and most gear is both affordable and durable!
Besides what you have already packed for your beach excursion you will only need a mask, snorkel, and fins to get started.
Some items you may want to bring along are a kick board, hydrosling, and arm bands to help your child float. As well as, a rash guard or float shirt (for kids) with UV protection to prevent sunburn.
Some Great Features to Look For
Finding snorkeling equipment is easy and fun. You can either purchase a set or separates to make your snorkel adventure complete.
Here is what I would suggest to look for in snorkeling gear for your adventures:
Mask
- Make sure your mask meets the rigorous ANSI standards for safety
- A silicone face skirt for a comfortable fit with a snug seal
- Tempered glass for the best view underwater and to avoid breakage
- Anti-fog mask to allow for maximum visibility
- UV protection
- A Quick Adjusting Strap for extremely easy fitting
- A purge valve to clear water from your mask with ease
- 100% submersible or dry top snorkel to prevent water from leaking into your water tube
- A purge valve for easy clearing of the snorkel
- Safety whistle to alert fellow snorkelers of an emergency
- Bright safety cap for your child's snorkel so that you never lose track of them
- A lighter fin with maximum propulsion to reduce fatigue
- An adjustable heel strap to fit a variety of sizes or growing foot
- For travel an ultra short design is a great idea
