This snorkel package is great, very powerfull and adjustable fins, quality dry snorkel, comfortable and very good fit, with a mesh bag to carry it all, Great for traveling... Super A +

I purchased this set for snorkeling and scuba diving in Cozumel. I don't get to go often, so i didn't want to spend a fortune on equipment, but wanted something better than the rentals. The snorkel works really well, it's a fully functional dry snorkel. The mask with the purge isn't great for those with a larger nose. the mask sealed great, but the purge does reduse some of the nose room which made diving a little less comfortable with the regulator in my mouth. I'm not a fan of the fins at all. They're very stiff which makes snorkeling difficut and very wide with a flat area where your toes go, which caused a lot of movement of my feet and blisters after a couple of hours of diving. The bag included does make transportation easy.

i chose this set because it is a brand i know and a color i love. i am pretty pleased with the set- the snorkel really is dry, the side view goggles are cool, and the fins dont hurt my feet (the strap that holds onto my heel is padded fabric, which is very nice). and you get a bag to keep it all in.

what took away a star: the corner of the goggles leak a little (no, my hair was not breaking the seal). and the purge for the nose doesnt work if you have big cheekbones that blocks the area to the nose.

update: in comparision to the set i picked for my husband, my set is WAY better.

i bought two sets; the set i bought for myself is this pretty teal set, and the 'Body Glove Scuba Diving Snorkeling Gear Dive Mask' set was for my husband. my set is much nicer- my fins have a cushioned strap, and his just have a rubber. my mask has a nose purge, his set doesnt. my mask as side viewing, and his set doesnt.

both snorkels are the 100% dry type, so actually thats the same, except his set has a whistle attached and mine doesnt. (he got a kick out of the whistle, but was a jealous of everything else)

if i had known all the differences, i would have bought two sets of the one i got for me! (still might, actually)

I'm using this on my new Mares Abyss 22. The stock mouthpiece on my old abyss was sufficient. The new model while super soft and silicone like,provides no regulator support and i found myself repeatedly adjusting the reg back into my mouth. This mouthpiece is soft skinned but firm with a deeper bite. I found the wider height bite blocks allow for a feel of easier breathing likely due to increased space created. Overall if your looking for a firmer comfortable bite, this should fit the bill.
