Guys, I was certified in 1970 and did a fair amount of wreck diving in Lakes Michigan and Superior. However, I'm old now and broken down. I'm going to have the opportunity to do some snorkeling in the Western Caribbean in the fall. As I look at skin diving gear, I think I have settled on the mask, fins and snorkel I'll buy, but have a couple questions regarding a vest. I think a small, minimalist vest makes sense, one that won't present drag as I attempt surface dives to ten feet. There are three that have caught my eye. The Cressi snorkel vest, the Akona snorkel vest and the ScubaPro Cruiser.
I really like the looks of the fit of the ScubaPro Cruiser but wonder about the neoprene back section. With the neoprene, will I have to add weight?
Are there any other vests I should be looking at? In terms of quality and design, does one brand stand out? Do the jacket style vests make sense for snorkelers?
