Snorkel Vests
|
| |
| Snorkel vests are small
inflatable vests that can be worn in the water to help improve
buoyancy while snorkeling. Snorkel vests are not designed
to be life vests or to allow those who can't swim to snorkel.
Rather, these vests provide buoyancy that allows the wearer to
relax a bit and focus on the sites below the water. Snorkeling
vests are usually inflated by blowing through a small tube, and
the air is released by pressing on a small valve.

Vests are an excellent idea for those who may not be the
strongest of swimmers (especially children) or for those who simply want
to expend less energy moving around in the water. (Editors note: I had
never used a vest until a recent trip to Hawaii - and although I am a
strong swimmer I was amazed at how much more enjoyable the vest made my
time on top of the water.) If you plan to dive underwater to see more
then don't wear a vest - you won't make it very far! Prices for
snorkeling vests are usually $25-$50, though vests are often provided
for free on snorkeling tours. Note: Standard vest life preservers and
foam waist preservers are decent alternatives when a formal snorkelign
vest isn't available. |
