It's worthwhile popping in to a proper dive shop to get some advice and fitting. 2) I've no experience of full face snorkel masks, but you can't equalise your ears with them, so just in case you do decide to do some duck diving, I'd go for for a traditional mask. 3) Definitely tempered glass. Acrylic scratches easily. 4) After trying every snorkel design out there, I've come back to the plain old tube. Not much to go wrong.

Have you thought about exposure protection? The typical open cell wetsuits that freedivers and spearfishermen use are the warmest and most comfortable, but they come at a price of requiring copious lubrication to put them on. The interior of the suit is also easily damaged. Closed cell wetsuits are easier to put on, but aren't as warm or as comfortable. Depends how much you feel the cold. |
