larainec Posted August 1, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I've never snorkeled before and have bought equipment for next week's cruise-my first. Do I need to take a life vest? I already have one from the SeaDoo. Your advice is appreciated.:confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell52 Posted August 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2004 If you're not a good swimmer and/or need the reassurance of extra flotation, you're better off using a snorkel vest rather than a life vest. Life vests are too bulky. Ell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted August 1, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2004 a snorkel vest is not the same thing as a life vest you would wear while riding a Personal water craft.

Finflapper Posted September 13, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I strongly recommend a snorkel vest so you can spend your energy viewing instead of staying afloat. I purchased mine at 123snorkel.com and delivery was quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted September 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2004 A lot of snorkeling boats carry floatation devices for you to use, so don't feel you need to purchase one. Not only do they usually have snorkeling vests, but they often have foam boards with viewing holes and swim noodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
