Snorkelling Mask Snorkel Fin Set
By purchasing a snorkel set you save both time and money. The mask, snorkel and fins have been paired together to offer you a simple purchasing solution. Almost every mask will work with every snorkel, but with so much choice it can be bewildering as to which to select. By purchasing a snorkel set this simplifies the process. For more advice, please read our Trusted Snorkelling Advice pages.
Most masks will fit most faces, snorkels will fit most mouths. Like all things in life, you get what you pay for. The same is true with the best snorkel sets. We don't sell plastic skirted masks that you find in supermarkets, beach shops, or non specialist retailers. These often cause skin irritation and leak water, our equipment offers high performance and comfort.
Whether the snorkel set is for you or your children, you want it to offer the best levels of practicality, safety and comfort. Our packs offer just this. Conforming to all the latest regulations for safety our snorkelling equipment is both safe and comfortable.
Nervous snorkelers should purchase a snorkel with both a valve and a wave chamber to ensure they don't get any water in their mouths. A good snorkel can really boost your confidence and in hand your enjoyment in the water.
To select your fin size (don't call them flippers!) then please do so based on your normal shoe size. Most will slip on over bare feet, but you can get those with boots which are ideal if you need to enter the water over rough ground such as rocks.

Murnanes Bay
Reef Dive | 
Shore access
Murnane's Bay Looking East
Depth: 1 m (3.28 ft) to 10 m (33 ft)
Level: Open Water and beyond.
Murnane's Bay (aka Murane Bay) dive site is a more deeply embayed, 80-metre long beach, that still receives waves averaging 1 metre. It lies on the Shipwreck Coast of Victoria and is part of the Bay of Islands Coastal Park which continues on from the Port Campbell National Park at Peterborough and extends through to Warrnambool.
Murnane's Bay is a 25-minute drive from Warrnambool along the Great Ocean Road. It features limestone stacks protruding from the water. Here you can have the iconic Twelve Apostle experience from the shore free from the crowds. The waves can be wild here so it can only be dived on very calm days.
Murnane's Bay Looking West
There are toilets and a car park above the beach, with steps down to the beach. The beach is low and flat and awash at high tide. It has a shallow surf including a few reefs and rocks. A permanent rip runs out of the bay and there is a sea arch in the making on the eastern headland.
There is plenty of interesting structure to explore and marine life to see at Murnane's Bay.
Murnane's Bay is best dived at high tide. See WillyWeather (Childers Cove) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

Eastern Maar country
Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Eastern Maar people of south-western Victoria between the Shaw and Eumerella Rivers and from Yambuk in the south to beyond Lake Linlithgow in the north. This truly ancient Country extends as far north as Ararat and encompasses the coastal townships of Port Fairy in the west, Warrnambool, Peterborough, Port Campbell, Apollo Bay, Lorne, and Airies Inlet in the east, including the Great Ocean Road area. It also stretches 100 metres out to sea from low tide and therefore includes the iconic Twelve Apostles. "Eastern Maar" is a name adopted by the people who identify as Maar, Eastern Gunditjmara, Tjap Wurrung, Peek Whurrong, Kirrae Whurrung, Kuurn Kopan Noot and/or Yarro waetch (Tooram Tribe) amongst others. We wish to acknowledge the Eastern Maar as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging.

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.
