So you think that your new snorkeling gear is just for swimming. Here are two ladies in Alaska that use their mask & snorkel for more than just snorkeling. Joanna Hollier who is 86 years old and Shirley Henley, 87 years old who have been swimming (with their mask & snorkel) at the local swimming pool for the last 30 years every day. Now they are an inspiration to all of us. So when your vacation is over, do not put away your new snorkel and mask, jump in the swimming pool. Here is their story which we found in the Kenai Peninsula newspaper.
Snorkeling Gear
We often get asked what our most popular snorkeling package is. Do we go by sales? Or should we go by the snorkelers who used the snorkel gear… lets go read a few reviews. The U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, the Trek Fins and it comes with a neoprene strap, fish food and the Coast bag so lets read a few reviews….
We bought the U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, Trek Travel Fins, Strap & Bag for a trip to the Caribbean so we would not have to rent equipment. Glad we did since this is very nice quality gear. Comes in travel bag that is ventilated so equipment can dry out even when stowed in the bag. Mask is nice (better viewing under water), snorkel is terrific and does not let in water if you dive below water level, and fins are compact for travel, but work very well. Highly recommend purchasing this equipment rather than renting junk if you go on vacation!

I used the U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, Trek Travel Fins, Strap & Bag on an 8 day trip to Aruba and it was excellent. The snorkel was the best part. I like to dive down and the snorkel doesn’t let any water in so you don’t have to blow out any water when you come back up. Also in rough water, you don’t have to worry about choking when the waves go over your snorkel. The Trek Travel Fins are also a lot easier to use than the full sized ones and they propel you plenty fast.

I bought my husband this for Christmas and we went Snorkeling the next day. It was REALLY nice! The bag was really handy and nice. I bought a cheaper set for myself and was disappointed. He really liked the set and the fins were comfortable made with soft rubber around the feet and the mask and snorkel were excellent quality. I wish I would have bought this set for myself.
