I'm trying to help someone buy a mask, fins, booties and snorkel for an upcoming trip. I'm looking for gear that will make things easier for him so he can enjoy himself. By "snorkeling" we are talking very light movement in the water. I'm thinking light weight split fins, though I'm not sure if open heel, closed heel, straps, etc. would be better for him.
1. What do you think would be easier for someone who has trouble walking to use for fins?
2. He also has emphysema, what type of snorkel will be easiest to breathe from and also easiest to clear for snorkeling?
3. Any advice for masks based on the stated criteria? I'm thinking something with a purge valve? He is not going to learn to clear his mask...
Thanks!
