Where is the best place to purchase snorkeling gear?
I;m going to Maui in May with my family and I want to purchase professional type, or close to it, just great quality in general snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, and fin set) for a great price (preferibly $30 each set)… is there any brand or website you would recommend buying from that i can get such a deal ir is it unrealistic?
the term "professional" usually means you are going to spend much more than $30 each.
Go for a good mask at least. Visit a local scuba shop and have them let you try on a variety for fit. When you Snorkel, do not use any lotion or make-up at all. Your face should be completely clean. Any products will break the mask seal and cause major flooding of your mask.
Any snorkel will do in a pinch. My favorite is the Ocean Master Dry Snorkel but it's a little spendy ($40-$50), but it's un-floodable so it's great for beginners.
Any fins will get you moving. The more you spend the more you move. My fins were $250. Cheap ones will still work, just not as efficiently or comfortably.
