SNORKEL:
These are good for a surface swim and useful when u need good amount of air while u swim against the waves, basically there are 3 types of snorkels.
- open tube type: good when there is not much of waves at the surface, problem its open end allows the water to enter the snorkel tube when doing surface swim,
- Hyper dry Snorkel Tube: there is a stopper at the top end, which closes when you go bit lower down in to the water level, the floater inside raises up and pushes the flap over the opening of the tube, so no water enters inside the tube. best for scuba Diving.
- Open ended, flexible, silicon snorkel, useful when u have too much gear to carry, folded and kept into pocket, when u are doing sidemount, very useful during Free diving.
MASKS:
Most of today’s scuba and dive masks feature a silicone skirt – the part that rests against your face and creates the seal. Some masks come with a clear skirt while others have a black skirt. Skirt color along with lens color are both considerations when you’re hunting or taking photos and videos underwater. Some masks offer replacement prescription lenses if you need vision correction underwater. Your underwater activity and intended depth may determine whether you want a low-volume mask, but this can also just be a personal preference. Note that with a low volume mask, you don’t have to equalize as often which may be a benefit when you’re diving deep. Mask strap style is largely a personal preference and since they’re easily replaced, shouldn’t keep you from buying the mask you like. The biggest category to break down is number of lenses. While there are benefits and drawbacks to all three categories, sometimes this also boils down to personal preference.
Single Lens Scuba Masks – Has one lens with an uninterrupted, wide field of view.
Two Lens Scuba Masks – Also referred to as dual lens dive masks, this style has two lenses and is typically your lowest volume mask.
Wraparound Lens Scuba Masks – Also referred to as panoramic masks, these have a single front lens and small lenses on the sides. Typically offers the widest field of view and are usually higher volume due to the lenses.
Purge – This type of mask features a purge valve below the nose to make mask clearing easier. Useful for surface snorkeling only.
