Our philosophy regarding
"Owning Your Own"
|
|
Snorkelers
Snorkeling is simple, fun and to discover the underwater world in your own equipment is inexpensive.
A great START-UP PACKAGE
Many snorkelers do their snorkeling with their family while on a tropical vacation
and before they set out, own a
Snorkeling or Skin Diving Package
This to get a comfortable and personal fit and make the sport much more enjoyable
Sometimes you can rent on location - other places you are better off owning your own
|
|
Beginner Open Water Divers
Learn the foundational underwater skills with your own
BEGINNER PACKAGE, mask, snorkel, fins and booties.
Fins & Booties, Mask & Snorkel are the basic snorkeling, skin and scuba diving equipment that require a much more individual comfort fit than other scuba gear.
You will appreciate these when you dive on your vacation.
Want a mesh bag to store everything in? We have great colors or just plain black.
Our beginner package has a variety of mask, snorkel, fins and boots to choose from.
