Hi All - My husband and I will be snorkeling in salt water, at and around Cozumel. Do you think a 3mm shorty would keep him bouyant? He's 5'8 and around 185. He won't be diving down, he just kicks around on the surface. Thanks!

It really depends on what makes up his 185 lbs. Fat, muscle or other? You may want to try a 3mm in the pool to give him an idea of what will happen. You can use that as a gauge to see what to expect in denser salt water.Linz617:Hi All - My husband and I will be snorkeling in salt water, at and around Cozumel.
