Do I bring my own Snorkel Equipment

[scooter599]

Seems like there is snorkeling everywhere.Are we to bring our own equipment or does pretty well every beach supply mask ,fins and snorkel for a price?

I always bring my own snorkle and mask and use the fins and if needed, the vest, of whatever company I book with. They usually provide everything, included in the cost of the tour, but I'd much rather use my own snorkle and mask . . . it's just a personal "thing." Besides, I like my pink snorkle and mask . . . <G>

I require a prescription mask and there is never a guarantee the operators will have anything close. In addition, I just like the idea of my own snorkel (you never can be sure of hygene standards these days). There have been other threads on this subject and a lot of people carry their own equipment. I use the operator's fins and vest (required for safety) since these are more bulky to carry.

 

Have a great cruise!

Although in many cases equipment is provided, we prefer, as the previous posters, to take and use our own. In many cases, ours is of better quality and, besides, there is no question who used it last and how it was cleaned!
