Can you snorkel, using swim goggles and a nose clip, instead of a snorkel mask?

Question

You would still use the mouth snorkel piece and attach it to the side strap of the goggles. It just seems less cumbersome than the mask. Has anyone tried this? Thanks for any tips!

Answer 1

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. The swim goggles limit your vision. A snorkel mask gives you a much clearer view of your surroundings and is easier to clear water out of and de-fog without having to remove it.

Answer 2

Yes, you technically can.  But it will greatly limit your visibility.  A decent mask shouldn't cost too much.  Check WalMart or Target.

Answer 3

sure but you ll get water in ur nose and u wont have a really good field of vision but its good to do if ur just swimming in the pool

Answer 4

No because a snorkel helps you breath under water and a nose clip can't!
