Why choose a snorkeling set?

Most of our snorkeling set buyers are relatively new to the sport. Usually they're thrilled to be on vacation here in South Florida and can't wait to get to the beach. They don't already have snorkeling gear (some bring a pair of swimming goggles, thinking they'll have a sufficient view of the reefs). They aren't really thinking about which snorkeling set is the right one. They just want to get in the ocean.

Obviously, this condition isn't conducive to a nuanced discussion of the finer points of, say, advances in snorkeling mask lens technology. For our grab-and-go snorkeling set buyers, we strongly recommend the EVO High Definition two-lens snorkeling set to adults. For kids, the EVO junior snorkeling gear set wins top marks. The EVO high-def mask incorporates a special layer in the lens that enhances visibility and contrast underwater, so you'll see better than ever. The difference really is comparable to the first time you saw a movie on an HD screen and knew you'd never want to go back to standard definition.

The EVO junior snorkeling set fits nearly every child. Parents especially appreciate the included gear bag, so kids can tote their own snorkeling set from the car to the beach. In addition, this set's mask offers buckles on the sides, which means kids don't need to pull the mask on and off over their head (we estimate this eliminates 80% of the tears and 95% of the screaming that occurs on vacation).

What's in a snorkeling set?

Any snorkeling set we offer includes a mask and a snorkel. Some gear packages also offer fins, which wraps up the essential snorkeling gear. Just add sunscreen and a towel! Depending on the snorkeling set you choose, a mesh gear bag might also be included. You don't absolutely need a snorkeling-specific gear bag - if you have one, though, it makes post-dive rinsing the salt water off your gear a lot easier. Also helps keep sand out of your other bags.
