Hello Everyone, I hope you are all well.

I have previously only snorkelled on vacation in the swimming pool and occasionally ventured out into the sea.

I am off too Egypt shortly and have decided to purchase some decent snorkel equipment as i have read that this is possible one of the best places to snorkel/scuba dive. I am also travelling to cuba next year and i am hoping this will be the start of a more serious new hobby.

I am really confused on what snorkel set to purchase. I am looking to buy a mask/snorkel initially and obviously add things on as i progress. Can anyone help me with the following items:

1. dry snorkels - I initally decided to get one of these, but have since read a few bad reviews, and am now really confused on what sort of snorkel to get. I liek the idea of being to dive under the surface to get closer to the wildlife etc.

2. Purge Valves - Do these operte whilst under the surafce of the water?

3. Mask sizes is there nay way to figure out what size i need?
