Hi There

[chris]

Warning, I'm greener than green can get compared to the rest of you!

We ranch (horses & cattle) in southern Oklahoma and are looking to try snorkeling for the first time on a cruise this winter. I don't like the idea of renting something to put in my mouth in Mexico () so thought I'd pick up some cheap equipment. HAAA! Not as easy as I thought. I don't want useless junk, but I'm not sure we'll like it and ever do it again so I'm sure I'll be asking a bunch of dumb questions (my old mentor told me there was no such thing as a dumb question, but I've heard a few doozies).

Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, advice!

Chris

Hey Chris... I've got horses... but no cattle. All quarter horses.. reining...

But anyway - the thing I always hate to see is people buying cheap stuff...

It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. "I'll get cheap stuff cause I don't know if I'll like it." And because they do get cheap stuff - they don't like it.

A nice mask snorkel and fin set up, with a bag a soft strap, defog etc... even all that in good quality stuff is only about 75 bucks

and that's before your additional discounts, gift certificates, etc.

And I can tell you... when you hit that crystal blue water and look down at the brilliant colored fish... you're right - you'll never want to snorkel again. You'll want to learn how to dive so you can get down there closer and stay longer!

Welcome to the board and feel free to even ask the dumb ones!
