With all the restrictions imposed by travel industry it is becoming increasingly difficult to take everything that you want with you on vacation. Extra fees for weight restrictions and size restrictions are beginning to force people into deciding whether or not they should take their snorkeling fins with them.
The travel fins are an excellent alternative and the travel fins are usually much shorter than the traditional snorkeling fins but don’t let that fool you. Their design still provides excellent propulsion in normal snorkeling situations. The U.S. Divers Trek Travel Snorkeling Fins are actually only 15 inches in length and weigh in at a mere 2 1/2 pounds compared to a traditional fins of 4-6 pounds.
The U.S. Divers Trek Fins do not fit wide feet as the foot pocket is narrow and will not fit with boots. But a manufacturer was listening and Tilos made a travel fin, the Getaway Fins and is for feet that are up to a size 14 and even a EEE in width. For those with long but narrow feet, wear a neoprene boot. The Tilos Getaway Fins are 18-21″ in length.
Have you heard of it? We have been getting great reviews with the National Geographic Snorkeling Fit Fins for our traveling snorkelers. Add the National Geographic Tunny Mask & Snorkel and you have a great National Geographic snorkel equipment.
We have been getting great reviews on the National Geographic FIT Snorkeling Travel Fins. The fins are great for travel and have a soft foot pocket so no boots are needed. The snorkel package is sold for $73.95.
All National Geographic snorkel gear is sold in a snorkel package or can be purchased individual.
I love getting new gear for the store and being the buyer for SnorkelingOnline.com it seems like it is Christmas every day.
Our newest product is the Cressi snorkel equipment but the snorkeling gear that I want to talk about today is the Cressi snorkeling travel package. The Cressi snorkel gear includes the Cressi Palau SAF Fins, Sky II Mask & Gamma Snorkel with an awesome travel bag.
The size of the fins might have some fooled but they work great in the water and perfect size for the traveler. The Sky II mask has a silicone skirt with tempered glass and the Gamma Snorkel has a replaceable silicone mouthpiece and is semi-dry.
The snorkeling equipment can be purchased as a package or can be purchased individually for just the snorkel, snorkeling fins or snorkel mask. The fins come in 3 colors and 3 sizes.
All manufacturers have a different buckle system on their snorkeling fins but you will find that each manufacturer does stick with the same system. Aqua Lung, which owns the snorkeling companies U.S. Divers & Aqua Lung Sport use the same buckle system. What constitutes a buckle system is the fin strap and the buckle. Because it is difficult to thread the the rubber strap through the buckle, it is rarely sold separately.
How do you change the buckle system? It is easy and we put a short video together to show you how.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of both worlds-Fast fins that act like a shoe…
By Tim “Digital Dude” (Texas)
Ever try to walk around in swim fins, especially the long ones? It ain’t easy. The Trek’s made it a breeze for me though I probably looked like a duck because of their shape. I tried the long and thin Proflex II’s but they were so flimsy they curled with every kick of my legs creating drag which quickly tired me out. Walking in them was impossible. The Trek’s stiffness and short length propelled me through the water like I was flying using rapid stiff leg bent at the knee minikicks. They held their own advancing against the strong current of tuber’s river rapids without a problem. Also used them as shoes to brace myself standing moving limestone boulders the size of 5 gallon water jugs out of the way of the rapids. I couldn’t believe how tough these fins were. The rubber/plastic material is thicker than the Proflex II’s and they fit perfectly and comfortably. I walked on concrete without slipping and could brace myself from hitting huge underwater limestone boulders. I would say the Trek’s are the best design out of all of the US Diver line of swim fins, but I’m not a pro diver, so take that for what it’s worth. Just started this month trying out this type of equipment for recreational use and I just love how these fins work.

5.0 out of 5 stars snorkeling in the carribean
By ru4shore
We got two sets to take on a cruise to the carribean and they were perfect. Just the right size to fit easily in a suitcase, and easy to carry to the beach…
5.0 out of 5 stars good product
By A Kib (Maryland)
Items worked fine, you get a good line of vision from the mask and it kept the water out. i’m new to snorkeling and found this served my needs very well on my vacation. item arrived quickly and i would recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good basic snorkel set
By J. A. “Froggie” (Washington)
It came within a week of ordering which was good because I was slow to place the order. I like the bag which fit perfectly in the bottom of my suitcase and yet was all I needed for a snorkeling day trip. The short fins provide all the power you need for snorkeling with the benefit that they put less stress on knees and ankles–at least my joints held up better than usual. I snokeled 4-5 hours a day for three days in a row with only minor stress to joints.
Finally, finally, finally! U.S. Divers (Aqua Lung Sport, same company) has come out with a snorkeling package in pink! Though the men might not find this exciting news, but pink lovers do. In the scuba industry, in the old days, hot pink was the color and it was so insulting that there were t-shirts made that said, Women Divers Dont Wear Hot Pink! But U.S. Divers hit it on the head when they came out with a pretty soft pink. For those that love pink, the U.S. Divers Diva LX Mask, Island Dry Snorkel, Trek Fins & Travel Bag will definately fill your snorkeling needs.
