Snorkel Sets

 


What’s the difference between our snorkel sets and other snorkel sets you find on the internet? All our snorkel set masks have polycarbonate frames, crystal silicone face seal and tempered glass lenses.

So what does that mean to you? Often cheap snorkels set packages that appear to be good value for money contain a mask with is made of plastic. The problem with plastic masks is that the frames break easily the plastic lenses scratch and crack easily and a plastic face seal will never make a good seal to you face. These snorkel sets are slightly cheaper but they will not serve you well in the long run.

 

The snorkel sets we sell are top quality and all the mask we sell are rated as Scuba Diving masks. We source our snorkels sets directly from the manufacturer to give you a great quality snorkels sets at the best possible price.

Your snorkels set is a great investment to make, just think of all the fun you can have snorkelling with snorkel set that is comfortable and does not leak or fog up.

When choosing the right snorkel set for you have many options think about if you would prefer a mask with one lens or two or perhaps you want a prescription mask as part of your snorkel set. If you need any advice on which snorkel set would suit you best then please call or email us we are always happy to help you make your choice.

The quality of the sets is the same for each snorkels set we sell and each model comes with a variety of colour choices. There are also various snorkels models that come as part of your snorkel set. Most snorkel sets come with a drain snorkel which means that most of the excess water will drain out of the snorkel without you having to blow it out! Some snorkels sets come with a snorkel with a splash guard which helps prevent water going down the snorkel and finally some snorkel sets come with snorkel with a dry top that will prevents most water going down the snorkel.

Have fun when choosing your snorkels and choose the set that you feel you will be most comfortable with.

Our quality snorkels sets are not just for adults, we sell Children’s snorkels sets that are just as high quality as the adults with polycarbonate frames, tempered glass lenses and soft crystal silicone skirts. These also come with a variety of snorkels so that you children can benefit from a high quality snorkel set too.

Tips for Safe Snorkeling at Raja Amput.

It’s worth noting a few safety issues to be aware of when swimming or snorkeling in Raja Ampat…

  • Currents: Some places have strong currents when tides are running. Fins are a must for snorkelling. Keep checking your position relative to the shore – especially if you don’t have a guide. Snorkelling conditions can change quickly so stay aware.
  • Reef protection: Look. Don’t touch! This includes walking over coral to enter the water. As well as the damage done to corals by handling or crushing underfoot, coral grazes or cuts are notoriously prone to becoming infected. Some species can also sting you quite badly. You shouldn’t attempt to handle any kind of marine life. There are many small and pretty animals on the reef that can do you a lot of harm. Blue-ring octopus, cone shells, lionfish – it’s a long list. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them.
  • Sunburn: Sunscreen and/or lycra protection is a must. Snorkelling in Raja Ampat is so good that a couple of hours can go by like a blink of the eye. Even wearing a old T shirt in the water can help protect your back You’ll never regret the snorkeling, but will regret being burnt so badly you have to stop.
  • Dehydration: Be aware that you can become dehydrated whilst snorkelling Remember to drink!
