We at Simply Scuba have recently reviewed some of our snorkelling products for Coast magazine, we took our top 4 best sellers and tested them to see what they were like, the results are as follows:
This three part adult snorkelling set consists of a Cozumel mask, Seabreeze dry snorkel and Proflex 2 full foot fins. This set provides excellent value for money, it’s a perfect set for holiday goers or people snorkelling for the first time providing all you need at a superb price.
The Scubapro Trinidad Mask and Snorkel Combination Set. This comfortable mask offers an excellent field of vision and thanks to it frameless construction is very light but strong. The snorkel is vented allowing water to easily drain whilst the flexible corrugated section ensures the mouthpiece always sits comfortably in your mouth. A quality set at a reasonable price.
The Pluma bag snorkelling kit consists of a high quality silicone skirted mask, purging snorkel, full foot fins and mesh carry bag. The exceptionally comfy mask and snorkel works superbly, the fins are lightweight and provide a lot power. This is really the perfect blend of performance and price.
This adult snorkelling set from US Divers consists of a Admiral mask, a Hydroair II snorkel, Trek fins, Mask Case and DVD. Overall this is a superb set, the Admiral Mask has a one-size-fits-all silicone face skirt provides ultimate comfort. Expanded top-to-bottom viewing window provides excellent vision. The snorkel has a superb water purge system which keeps surface water out while maintaining excellent unobstructed airflow. Overall a brilliant set with some nice features which comes in a handy rucksack.
Thoughts...
After reviewing the various sets I would say that the Cozumel set was certainly best value for money, with the Pluma bag being of the best quality. Therefore snorkelling holidays I would recommend the Cozumel set, whereas for people who have tried and enjoyed snorkelling before we would recommend the Pluma Bag.
