Yeah pretty cool Sean. I was taught to snorkel by my folks at a very young age and we did the same with our daughter. Its amazing how many people freak out when putting on a normal mask and snorkel. I hope this helps!!

Looks great, didn't expect to be from Decathlon, wish we had them in Australia, so much better that Rebel or any other sport shop.
Do you have them in New Cal ?
Wonder how they really seal with everyone's different shape of face.

Does anyone remember the 'ping pong ball' snorkels?....... lethal things and they have done it again with the 'water stop'

They don't have the best brands and their own ones are ok, but prices are generally good.

The video was mistranslated.

They were actually saying;

The retards people saying why they can't snorkel-
"I'm too mentally challenged to learn how to use a normal snorkel and mask"

The people who made the device-
"We found that mentally challenged people opened a whole new market for us..."

I wish the ping pong ones were still available, stopped me from sucking in a mouthful of water as I still swim like a brick

You can get prescription dive masks.

Otherwise look at a full face diving mask.

Why were the ping pong balls lethal? Surely if you're only snorkelling and your airway got blocked you'd just rip your mask off and poke your head up out of the water. Did people seriously die like that?

At what price? Glasses that I use all the time cost too much, so how could I afford something only usable in water

Get yourself a set of these, and then pull out the prescription lens insert and glue them in your mask.

i tried a wrap around mask once for spearfishing. i found it very disorientating and my depth perception was way out. worst dive I've ever had. i wonder if these are different.
