Top 10 Best Snorkelling Gear


Cheap or mediocre snorkel gear can make or break a well-planned snorkelling trip. Imagine your mask constantly leaking or fogging up while trying to enjoy the beautiful sites. Beyond being a simple distraction, a leaky mask can ruin your experience altogether because of poor visibility. The same goes for a low quality snorkel. Settling for a model that doesn't have a one-way valve will leave you gulping mouthfuls of saltwater.

The snorkel sets that are carried by the big box chains can't compete with the quality of gear such as that offered by the top snorkelling brands like Cressi and Tusa. To enjoy your snorkeling experience, a small investment in decent snorkel gear is well worth it.

Here we've listed our picks for the Top 10 Best Snorkelling Kit. Mostly they are our most popular and best selling, value for money, snorkelling products for both kids and adults. We hope it will help you choose the best snorkelling gear to enjoy your day on the water!

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Wathaurong (Wadda-Warrung) people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes the coastline of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-east, the Bellarine Peninsula, and down to Cape Otway in the south-west. We wish to acknowledge the Wathaurong as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Bunjil the Creator Spirit of this beautiful land, who travels as an eagle, and Waarn, who protects the waterways and travels as a crow, and thank them for continuing to watch over this Country today and beyond.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.

The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
