Snorkel sets comapring instructions
– Go to dive shops and see different snorkeling sets. Try some models and see if they fit your face. Be sure that you did’t choose mouth piece that pulls at your mouth. Mouthpiece should remain in place without applying too much force.
– See if you need an open tube, semi-dry or dry snorkel. Even the snorkel is fully submerged, dry snorkel will not allow water to enter the tube. Semi-dry snorkel use angles and they prevent most water from entering the tube. Open tubes are the basic snorkels.
– Choose size of your equipment. Consider the snorkel tubing length and width. Do not choose snorkel that is too long and narrow because the breathing can be difficult in that case.
– To save you money, compare prices. Basic snorkel for beginners costs between $25 and $35. Dry snorkel can cost between $55 and $65.
