Most people thing that clearance mean bad quality or inferior snorkel gear, but this is not true.
How do we choose what snorkel gear makes our Snorkelers Clearance category. Snorkeling Online.com has a couple of ways and it includes discontinued snorkeling gear from the manufacturer, they will not continue producing this product. Another reason could be that only one color is discontinued. Or it is just a bad selling piece of of snorkel equipment because maybe it is high priced.
Notice that under this category, Snorkelers Clearance we do have sub-categories, NEW & USED. Because we have such an open return policy, we do occasional get snorkeling equipment returned that is used. We clean it up and put it in this category and you will find great buys in either category.
Save a few dollars and shop our Snorkelers Clearance first.
GOOD JOB HAWAII! Over 2 years ago, Hawaii started fining those individuals and companies that are damaging the reefs. The New York Times states that Hawaii is the home to 84% of all coral under American jurisdiction.
You wonder how much money are we talking? There is one scuba diving store that was fined for $396,000.00 because when one of their boats sank, it damaged more than 1200 coral colonies in the Molokini area.
The US Navy was just recently fined for $7 million dollars while they had to restore over 5000 broken coral colonies because the USS Port Royal ran aground.
If the companies do not be more careful, in a few years there will be no more corals and it is no secret that the states number 1 industry is tourism. So folks, puleeze be careful when you are snorkeling, lets set examples… Do not touch or stand on our beautiful corals. As the New York Times states “Careless ocean users, can kill 500 year old coral in 5 minutes.” Watch for updated video in our Snorkeling Guides category for more information on how you can be for careful.

Crud… we missed it again… missed what, you ask? The best snorkeling event in the world. The World Bog Snorkeling Championship!
For many years (and you can read more on our blog since we covered the numerous years) the small town, Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales sponsored the annual Bog Snorkeling Championships. What is Bog Snorkeling? Grab your snorkel equipment and lets jump in the bog.
Wikipedia description of a bog is: A bog or mire is a wetland type that accumulates acidicpeat, a deposit of dead plant material—usually mosses, but also lichens in Arctic climates.
Bogs occur where the water at the ground surface is acidic, either from acidic ground water, or where water is derived entirely from precipitation, when they are termed ombrotrophic (rain-fed). Water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown color, from dissolved peat tannins. Bogs are very sensitive habitats, of high importance for biodiversity.
This year on August 31st, over over 200 people participated in this outdoor snorkeling sport. All you need is your snorkel equipment, snorkeling mask, fins and your snorkel. Costumes are optional.
Because of the increase of participants, they used two bogs this year. Through the hard rains, the snorkelers had to snorkel through the mud two lengths of 60 yards each. The person with the best time was declared the winner. But you had to keep your head in the water and could not use swim strokes, only kicks with the aid of your snorkel fins (or flippers as our friends over the pond calls them).
I came across this picture and thought I would share. Isnt the puppy adorable? If you dont have a puppy and never had the opportunity to put a snorkeling mask & snorkel on your pet, check out this picture.
Thank you MNFX for this adorable picture and sharing what a dog looks like with snorkel equipment.
