Components Of A Snorkel Set

By Carla Stone


A snorkel set is arguably the most obvious apparatus that you can find if you want to go diving. A good quality and comfortable snorkel will work the trick whether it is scuba diving you want to do or if it is snorkeling.

There are two available kinds of snorkel kits. The first one you will find is the mask and snorkel, alongside the swimming fins. The other type is the one which just has a mask and accompanying snorkel only. It means different all the time.

The components of snorkel sets are quite basic and as such, the sets are not very expensive. A snorkel is by itself not anything more than a curved plastic tube which measures about 16 inches and allows one to breathe and see underwater.

Better versions of a snorkel will have a sump, allowing any water that accumulates to drain off.

Dive masks too are simple equipment. You will find goggles appearing in two basic shapes. Mostly, they will either be the two piece goggle like views or a single but wider mask which gives the diver one wide area to see through, somewhat like welding goggles.

It does not really matter which design you choose. It all depends with ones personality tastes. None of the ones who take either is better than the other. The only other consideration is when there is a mask that contains special anti-glare coating.

When shopping for one, to help you choose one, it is recommended that you try out the options available and after that, make your final pick.

The other items that come in the kits are the swim fins. These are generally in two forms, either the hard ones which help the swimmer have enhanced propulsion while swimming or the softer more flexible fins which allow one to walk at the beach without much struggle.
