U.S. Divers Diva Women Snorkel Set, Ladies Silicone Mask, Trek Travel Fins, Dry Top Snorkel + Snorkeling Gear Bag - Purple - Small

My previous experience with snorkeling has always been with rented gear. I've never owned my own equipment before. After owning this, I certainly never want to rent equipment again. The quality difference is ridiculously apparent. So, if you just want the bottom line, I can't possibly recommend this set enough. If you want more detail, read on.Bag: Excellent carry case with both a handle at the top and a strap you can sling over your back. Holds the equipment that comes with this set, plus my neoprene socks and snorkel life vest perfectly. Is breathable so that wet stuff stored in it won't get smelly or moldy during travels from the beach to home. It also fit in our carry on luggage which was very convenient.Mask: Fits beautifully. I didn't have to constantly clear it like I've had to do with rental masks in the past. Easy to use straps. Feels comfortable on. No issue with visuals.Fins: Comfortable for me. Shorter and slightly wider than full size fins, but that didn't bother me at all. I felt like I got plenty of movement from them. That said, I've snorkeled without fins many times in the past too, so any type of fin is a bonus for me. Your mileage may vary. I didn't experience any rubbing, chafing, discomfort, or blisters from them like I have from other fins. However, I did have my neoprene socks on when I wore them and the lack of those issues could have been due to the socks.Snorkel: I had no prior experience with a submersible snorkel. These things are AWESOME! I snorkeled in more than one location with crazy big waves (I was in Hawaii) that went over my snorkel and the water didn't come inside. I dove down just slightly a few times as well. Again, no water came inside. I never once, in 5 snorkeling sessions that totaled between 6 to 8 hours of snorkeling, breathed in water or had to take the snorkel out of my mouth to clear water out of it. If any water came in at all, it was unnoticeable from an actual breathing standpoint. At most, I could hear a little gurgling now and then. When I heard that sound, I'd take a deep breath and then blow out hard to clear it and that worked like a charm. I can't possibly express how impressed I am with this snorkel. It is absolutely the best snorkel I've ever used.Cons: Not a single one that I can think of. I don't think this set could be any more perfect for me.Highly recommend.

My husband purchased this snorkeling set for me as a Christmas present to take on our cruise to the Carribean this summer, so I had to test it out in our spa tub-how funny is that?!! Anyway...it seems like it will be a great set. I got the hot pink/black set and the color was such a pretty, vibrantly hot pink that it can be seen from outer space. I will be easy to spot, and that will be a good thing. Now my hubby can relax a little, Bless his Heart.The mask is perfect for my face type...I have a narrow face, and it molds very well. The best part is - zero leakage. The glass/plastic in the lenses is so clear and the side view is fantastic. The quick release straps on the side of the mask are wonderfully easy to use. I think I am going to purchase a snorkel strap, though, because the clip it comes with doesn't seem like it would work very well when you're in choppier ocean waters. I'm afraid it will keep coming off without a better strap.The snorkel itself is worth the price of the set. It keeps water out, and really is dry. The mouthpiece isn't overly large, and is very comfortable. Your lips are not distorted or pushed out at all, and the mouth forms naturally around it. My only slight complaint is again, the cheap clip to attach the snorkel to the mask.The fins are super. Just the perfect length for packing. I like the shorter length because they are easier to walk in, and you can get in closer to the corals without damaging them. I ordered a size Medium (size 8-11) and the fit around the toe area seems a little narrow and tight, but that is because I have very thick feet, and for someone with "normal" feet they would be perfect. To combat this issue I purchased half booties to prevent blisters. Now they fit very comfortably and I don't have to worry about sore toes/lower foot rubbing. The heel straps seem very sturdy, however, the pin system used to hold them in place has me a little nervous...they seem sort of flimsy, but with a little care putting them on and removing them I'm sure they will be fine.The travel bag is the icing on the cake. Everything fits in there neatly, and there is even a place for the mask. The bag seems like it will hold up very well. All in all, I think this set is awesome, and I can't wait to use it this summer.

unfortunately the first set had a dodgy fin buckle but amazon replaced it extremely quickly. snorkel is fantastic, the dry breathe auto shut off function works brilliantly, it feels so much nicer to not have to worry about clearing the snorkel before you can breathe when you resurface. mask fits my face well. few misting problems but that's common with all masks, a bit of washing up liquid around the inside of the lens seemed to help with that. the fins are a nice length that they dont get in the way but stop you getting tired out and mean you can really explore areas. made me feel a lot safer if there was a current etc. the quick release on the fins is also very useful as it means you can get them off in seconds to walk up the beach. bag is an added bonus, all fits in nicely and comfortable to carry. could do with a padded protective case for the mask but that is the only imporovement i can think of

I am truly very pleased with this snorkel set. The mask is comfortable, the fins are great as well. I find the fins more comfortable to wear than longer fins. Having a dry-snorkel is so convenient and it works like a charm.The set comes complete with a bag, so you are ready to go.The only additional item I purchased was a velcro strap for the mask, as I find that more comfortable on the head.But thumbs up for this product.

I brought two of these for my daughters trip to Egypt, they came back and said they snorkelled everyday on the coral reefs and the equipment was superb, no leaks on the mask or problems whatsoever. My eldest freedived with this equipment with an instructor and again it performed superbly. Also the diving snorkel again was a superb doing its job when they swam deeper. Great product at a good price which is well worth buying.

I recently visited The Red Sea. My first time snorkelling. This kit was really easy to travel with, the snorkel was fantastic. Could free dive and every time I came up I never had to clear the air way. Mask was extremely airtight, and flippers also protected my feet when I accidentally passed on the coral. A must buy, great price for extremely good quality.

Strap not working properly. Fins very inflexible. Not for me. Sorry. Lovely colour though.........have had to return them to the supplier.
