Snorkel

Many of our snorkelling fins we sell are designed to be worn barefoot and have proven to be extremely comfortable and popular for all the family while snorkelling on holiday as they are lightweight and won’t take too much luggage space or at home if you live near the beach.   You may also wish to wear added sun protection while snorkelling as rash vests are worn for snorkelling in sunny conditions and will provide some UV protection for men, women and kids.  

FAQs

 

What is the difference between snorkelling and scuba diving?

  The key difference between these two activities is how deep you go into the water. Snorkelers float close to the surface, while scuba divers stay underwater longer.  

How deep can you snorkel?

  With dry snorkel masks, you can descend up to six feet underwater without issue. However, your snorkel mask may fill up with CO2 and make it difficult to breathe. However, with wet snorkel masks, you can just be near the surface of the water.  

What is the difference between a wet and dry snorkel?

  Dry snorkels have a float valve mechanism that seals the snorkel tube from water when submerged, with a classic wet snorkel having a much simpler J shaped tube design.
