Hi there,
I really enjoy snorkeling, and am looking to get some gear that can pull double duty - primarily for me to start off snorkeling, and then later to possible use for SCUBA diving after I get certified. I will really only be doing this in warm water. I have been doing a bunch of research online, and have come up with a few things that I would like for experienced people to comment on.... First of all, I live in an area with no local dive shops, so I am going to have to make my purchases online without trying them on....I know this isnt that smart, but that is another reason that I am looking for comments from you guys. I am going on a trip to the Carrib at the end of this month...
From what I have seen, I am looking at the following items:
MASK:
- Cressi Horizon or Matrix - both seem to have good reviews
- AguaLung Mythos or Kea - the Mythos seems to have good reviews, and the Kea is new?
-Mares X Vision - a lot of people on these boards seem to like them
FINS:
I want to use a Full Foot version, and I wear a shoe size of 9.5, or a 9 wide
- TUSA XPert Zoom FF-9 - this fin looks like it has great reviews, but because of my shoe size, I am kind of in-between their ML and the L size... Do these run wide, or narrow???
- Atomic Aquatics FF SF - this fin also seems to be on the top of the ratings I have seen, and it does come in a size rated as a 9-10, which seems like it would fit well
-Oceanic Vortex FF SF V-6 - once again, seems to get good ratings, and also comes in a 9-10 size
-Scuba Pro Twin Speed - seen some mentions of this fin as a good performer
-Apollo Bio Pro Uni FF SF - They seems to be the creators of the SF technology, and this is the Full Foot Version and come in a 9-10 size.
SNORKEL:
- Genesis Mojave Dry
- Oceanic Sonora Pro Dry Snorkel
- Ocean Master Dry Snorkel
The couple of Online stores that I have been looking at were the www.SCUBA.com and www.LEISUREPRO.com Does anyone feel that one is better that the other??
WOW, I just asked a lot of questions, and any input that you guys can provide to me will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!!!
