Mask and snorkel...

Interest forums / Diving & Snorkelling

Looking for a recommendation on brands...

I am in New Zealand at the moment and want to get my brother a good quality mask and snorkel (hes in the US) I was looking online as they are really expensive here but so far havent found a site that I trust. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A RELIABLE ONLINE SOURCE?

Are there no dive shops near you? It would be better if your brother can try it on, before buying.

Try the mask before you buy. Every face is different and different masks fit differently. Good masks are not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I agree with the above, your brother really needs to try it on first. Since he is not in the country with you, why don't you rather get him something else (something from kiwiland), or buy him one when you get to where he is.

doesn't make sense to buy a mask without trying it first.
maybe you find a dive shop that is close to your brother and get him a voucher?
