Don't limit yourself to just masks, fins and snorkels. What about your favorite sunscreen?

Do you have a tip about keeping your mask from flooding when you have a mustache?

What about the differences between a stiff paddle fin vs a soft flexible split fin?

Or how about your experience with prescription masks?

We look forward to learning from your experiences with different snorkel gear and to answering your questions.
