Seriously? You went snorkeling without an undwerater camera? C’mon, maaaan! You don’t ever do that. To be truthful, I’m at a point in my regular snorkel locations where I don’t see much on a regular basis that I haven’t seen...
US Divers is a brand that we really like here at the Snorkel Store.  They make really good snorkel equipment sets that are affordable.  You won't find many "premium" sets that go for over $100 with US Divers.  Those...
We've all seen ads, offers, and the "experience of a lifetime" claims from snorkel tour companies and sea parks about having a chance to swim with dolphins.  It's really an attractive offer prospect, right?  Dolphins are among the...
Mares is one of those snorkeling gear manufacturers that provides an entire line of snorkeling sets that range from the recreational/hobby sets for one-time or occasional snorkelers (or those who prefer these kinds of sets) to the more premium...
We thought long and hard before we started to review and recommend underwater scooters here on The Snorkel Store.  At first, we saw snorkel scooters as a luxury item and, to be completely honest, one that wasn't really needed. ...
The Sea Doo Explorer X is pretty much the top of the line for underwater scooters and its a machine that I consider to be a good hybrid; that is, you can use it for snorkeling or diving. It's difficult to...
I like to hunt for the best deals for snorkel gear on Amazon.  Actually, I'm kind of obsessed with it.  The reason for this is two-fold:  One, I love quality snorkel gear and all cool new stuff that I...

Rash guards are an important element to protecting your body when in the sun.  It may be even more important when you're snorkeling.  Women's rash guards (and men's) are among the most important yet routinely ignored piece of snorkel...
There are a bunch of different reasons why snorkeling with a buddy makes the experience more fun. No one who contributes to this site has ever, and never will, go snorkeling alone. It’s just the policy of the site....
Colors Available: Blue, Black, Yellow and Red Yes, we like to review US Divers snorkel gear.  Mainly because the company has such a large line of recreational snorkel gear to fit most people and their snorkel needs.  This St Tropez...
Cressi is an Italian company that makes high-end SCUBA and dive gear.  The company also manufactures great snorkel gear that is amongst the best made and most popular in the sport/hobby.  Founded in 1938 by two brothers (Egidio and...
Snorkeling is a fantastic way to see underwater life forms. The multicolored coral reefs and the bounteous species of fish will make you look differently at the world. But, before you begin your snorkeling adventure, you must be aware...
Three things about this Mares Razor Snorkel Set stand out right away: the long fins, the low-volume free diving mask, and the carry bag that fits all of it. You don’t always get a bag with this kind of snorkel...
Our answer to this question is:  Not for the places where we snorkel. If you're snorkeling in tropical areas such as the Maldives, Hawaii, Bahamas, etc, then you will not usually need a wetsuit. The only time that we have ever...
