Snorkel for Kids?

[Dancin Doctor]

Looking to buy snorkels and masks for my 3 kids (ages 4, 6 and 8 ) before our December cruise. I don't want to spend a ton (since they have never been and may not be interested) but I do want them to have their own (thanks COVID). We don't have a dive shop here. Suggestions?

Thanks, I was just hoping someone had experience with a particular brand that held up well for occasional snorkeling for kids. My husband and I enjoy snorkeling and we hope the kids will as well. We would like to get gear that works well for kids just learning.

Check out the internet for stores that sell just snorkel gear.  The thing with kids, as their face grows the fit of the mask will change.  If you could rent a mask, buy just a cheap snorkel.  Do you have a Big Five sporting or Dick's.  They may still carry some summer gear.

I would recommend getting a full face mask as it makes snorkeling so much easier.

Full face masks have proven to be dangerous. Our Princess snorkel excursion specifically states, "no full face masks allowed."

Thanks all! We bought normal snorkel equipment for our kids. They are all practicing in the bathtub.
