Not sure how deep people want to free dive, but have gone 20+ feet with no issues. I SCUBA so no need to dive deeper when snorkeling for me.

If you look in the WA activities list I posted a week or so ago it mentions snorkeling with something I had never heard of. So I Googled it. Looked interesting so I bought one. Tried it in the pool at home and loved it. Going to try it out in the ocean tomorrow.

If you are going FFM, make sure you do not get one made in China. They have been implicated in deaths in Hawaii because of CO2 buildup. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hawaii-...elated-deaths/
