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.

Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Boon Wurrung / Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. This truly ancient Country includes parts of Port Phillip, from the Werribee River in the north-west, down to Wilson's Promontory in the south-east, including the Mornington Peninsula, French Island and Phillip Island, plus Western Port. We wish to acknowledge the Boon Wurrung 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.
