A quick question for EXPERIENCED scuba divers / snorkelers?
Hey now!
I'm just getting into snorkeling and scuba diving and want to get a really good mask/snorkel/fins to begin with. Unfortunately, I do not live anywhere close to a dive shop and have to order these items online. The store has said not to worry about sizes, as I can send back and exchange sizes at no charge to myself (which is really rare and nice of them). But I am not sure which brand or model to go with, especially for fins.
What would you consider to be the very best set of fins, if money was not an issue? Atomic? Mares? Should I get split fins?
Do dry snorkels really work? Do they close when submerged? If you have a good dry snorkel what brand did you get?
Thanks a bunch. Any extra advice or abuse you want to include for a rookie scuba diver/snorkeler would be appreciated. I will be taking a PADI or NAUI course in the winter on vacation, but wanted to practice snorkeling all summer and fall.
You have to decide if you intend to dive in warm climates or cold climates first. If you intend to dive anywhere other than those southern states that are along the Gulf of Mexico, you'll have to have cold climate fins which accomodate your foot + a 3-5 mm bootie whereas warm climate fins slip right onto your bare foot. Hopefully you know this already.
If I assume cold climate, then I'm a Mares Volo believer! This fin has a pivot point in the middle of the fin to make your kick a little easier with more propulsion. If you go with a Mares Quatro, you're not going to like it! I have this fin, and it was "the most powerful" back in the day when I bought my "best equipment". This sucker has some great propulsion, but only if you have tree trunks for legs! To kick this fin for a whole dive will get your legs cramping up real quick unless your in better than average athletic shape.
Soon after these fins came out, the split fins came out. At that time, it helped let people kick a little easier with more propulsion than regular fins but not quite as much as the Quatro. Then Mares came out with a middle fin, the Volo. The addition of the pivot made the Quatro design easier to kick.
As for snorkels, there's a few considerations. If you intend to do a significant amount of snorkeling then a dry snorkel is definitely worth the price. They definitely stay 95-99% dry, and they'll stay mostly dry underwater. BUT, that's a good *and* a bad thing. Good for obvious reasons, but BAD because when you scuba dive, that air in the snorkel will *pull* up on the side of your mask because there's air in it! That really sucks. It's really uncomfortable on the side of your face. I have an Ocean Master dry snorkel, and I don't even use it on most dives for that reason--the only time I bring it is if it looks like the conditions warrant it, but that's not a good habit, you should always bring a snorkel.
Another thing to consider: stiffness. If your snorkeling, stiffness keeps the thing pointed in the right direction. If your diving, the stiffness only bangs against the side of your face while it wobbles on the side of your mask.
My preference/recommendation would be to have a medium stiff soft rubber snorkel for diving without the dry feature.
Other advice. 90% of my equipment I bought at Diver's Direct in Florida. I can say without a doubt, they have *the* best prices and they have *the* best customer service. I've ordered from them online, and I've even been to their stores and in both ways, they people are knowledgable, friendly and helpful! You can quote me on that! But also remember that when possible, always try to buy what you can afford at your local dive shops, nobody really gets rich selling equipment, you'll just be helping out fellow divers and that's a great thing!
Hope this helps and good luck!
If you belong to those people who cant get the needed amount of exercise per day just because they are too lazy to start moving around, it is probably the right time that you mind your body. Why not try to do those forms of exercises that will not actually put you into an 'exercising' state? If this is probably the case then you may want to give the sport of snorkeling a try.
Among any other sports, snorkeling permits the biggest number of participants and this is somewhat less discrimination for any age, body size, and gender. The only thing that a person should do when it comes to this sport is to try to recognize their bodily limit and to try to not exceed it. Let it always be known that water is a whole lot denser environment as compared to air and this does not necessitate the use of too much energy. Lot of people who are into snorkeling are very much involved in visual aspect of the underwater world that they are not recognizing the fact that they are in fact doing a form of exercise.
However, there are certain limitations as to the fact whether a person can snorkel. Those that are suffering from severe respiratory and cardiovascular problems should prevent this activity because this may cause a little problem to their health. So they can be sure, it would help to consult the help of a physician first. Furthermore, any questions when it comes to snorkeling must be referred to a physician to be sure. Although you won't need any certification before you can jump into the water to try the sport, you should still be mindful about you health for you not to end up in regret later on.
Furthermore, to make this activity livelier and more fun, it would help if you can get dry snorkel for your equipment. This will allow you to get the confidence that you need while in water. Some models are created with Pressure Release Valve that will open the airways as soon as you surface the water. Also, the airway will then open and close in each water contact. As a rule, buy your equipment by going for those that are created by trustworthy brands. Don't be fooled by thinking that cheap ones will do you good because they are not the same. Once you submerge yourself to water, you will see the big difference. To be safe, ask the sale representative about what brand is the most sellable in their store or you can do your research to find out which brand you should go for. Lots of dry snorkel reviews are posted over the internet, just search for them.
Snorkeling is really fun and can be great outdoor activity. One great thing about snorkeling is You just need Snorkel and Mask.
