U.S. Divers Cozumel Seabreeze Dry Proflex II Mask, Fins and Snorkel Set (X-Large, 11.5-13)

This is a decent kit. I should have just picked up a set from Costco ($10 more and it comes with a carrying bag and newer snorkel/goggles/fins). In either case, it served its need. I used these for snorkeling down in Baja. The mask worked well but I'd recommend buying some defogger. It would be nice if they included some in the package. Ah well... The fins worked out pretty well but seemed to get bent easily. Of course, I would sometimes stand in these since the water was so shallow and I wasn't used to walking/standing in fins. The snorkel itself is decent. I wish it had a flap to allow less saltwater to get in. There were a few times where I took a few gulps. Otherwise, everything worked pretty well. No saltwater leaked into the mask. Of course, I wasn't diving down deep or anything since we were mostly snorkeling in very shallow 3-4ft water.

The set was great! I used it while on vacation and had no problems. The only thing I would say is if you are going to use them with snorkeling or diving for an extended period of time, you should wear socks to prevent any blistering. But other than that, they were very comfortable and easy to use for me,a first timer.

I bought five sets of these for a group trip to the Virgin Islands. We all used them many times during our week on St. John and no one had any problems. This is an excellent buy!

Water kept seeping into the nose part of the mask as soon as I would put my face in the water. The problem is that the mask is not capable of creating a watertight seal the way good masks do. No matter how much I tightened the mask, it wouldn't prevent water from seeping in. In addition, the flippers are much harder to use than ordinary rubber flippers because they are not nearly as flexible and they slip off much too easily. I switched to a cheap rubber snorkel set and was MUCH happier. Save yourself the money and buy a rubber set.

Recently we took a south Caribbean cruise and one of our stops was Aruba where we planned to snorkel for the first time. The thought of using rented equipment sounded unsanitary to me so I bought two of these sets to take with us.

The flippers worked great, and ours were even envied and complimented by others who had their own equipment. We'd purchased neoprene footies to wear with the flippers to prevent blisters and improve the fit. This I highly recommend. The flippers fit well and did not slip or fall off while in the water. They made moving through the water quite easy, giving lots of thrust. The flippers are long, about 23 1/2 inches long so if you plan to pack them in a suitcase, make sure your luggage is long enough.

The snorkel tube fit comfortably in the mouth and has an automatic drainage system that allows any water to drain out without having to open any valves or anything. It attaches to the mask to hold it in proper position.

The mask was my only problem. A couple of times I had difficulty getting it tight enough to seal out water. The clips on the sides aren't the greatest, but then again this is an inexpensive set. Once the seal was secured the mask worked great as long as I remembered to wipe the inside of the lenses with saliva first (yes, you need to spit in them to prevent fogging, if you don't you won't see a thing). The goggles are curved, with large lenses to allow for better viability in the water.

Snorkeling was a blast, and having this set made it possible to enjoy a whole new experience without having to use rented gear that no telling what germs linger on. This is a good set at a good price, and if not for the sealing issue with the goggles I'd have given it 5 stars.
