I wanna go snorkeling?

Question

any suggestions as too a brand of mask and snorkel? and fins i need fins.

Answer 1

The most comfortable mask / snorkel / fins sets can be bought right at Wal Mart.  They are made of silicone that is very soft and comfy.  If you really get into freediving, you'll need better quality equipment such as a low-volume mask, a weight belt and those 3-foot long freediving fins, but the Wal-Mart stuff should be good enough for general snorkeling.

Answer 2

If it's a one time vacation thing, just buy the cheap ones. If you're looking for professional ones it's not really worth it and you don't need it in my opinion. Professional ones are only different in that they can go really deep under water and won't shatter under the pressure.

If you need professional ones, some popular brands are:

tusa, oceanic, cressi, scubapro...

pretty much anything you can get at a diving store will be good.

make sure you get the right kind of fins. There are 2 kinds, one with boots(shoes) and one without.  If you're diving in cold water you want the one for boots.
