Snorkel Gear Checklist
On your next snorkeling adventure be sure to follow this simple snorkel gear checklist to ensure a fun and safe trip for you and everyone involved. Take a minute and make sure you’ve got everything you need before beginning 
your journey.
Your mouthpiece on your snorkel must feel comfortable. This is critical for a safe time underwater. If you have a purge valve, that will allow water out and you won’t have to keep tilting your head back every time.
A swimming cap can serve a few purposes. It will protect your head from sunburn and keep your hair from getting in the snorkel.
A float vest is perfect for the less confident swimmer because it is a great way to remain buoyant and relieve any nervousness about your adventure.
If you aren’t wearing a wetsuit, a rash guard protect you against ocean stinging and from the sun too.
You will definitely need fins on your snorkel gear checklist. Make sure to have the proper type of fins for the trip. The shorter fins tent to allow the most mobility and comfort.
To protect your feet from blisters, neoprene socks can provide protection as well as comfort. They will also keep your feet warm in colder diving conditions.
Make sure you use a mask that is not only comfortable, but one that fits your face too. If you experience any air leakage that means you don’t have a good tight fit. You should also apply some defogger to prevent the mast from fogging up. You could also just spit in the mask and rub it around to achieve the same result.
