For first timers to Maldives, some hotels (I believe the St. Regis for one?) charge $$ for daily snorkel set rental. It's a nice perk here. And the quality was good. I have my own from Amazon ($25-30 and excellent) and always bring it in case local ones aren't good. That said, if I'd have known these were decent here at LM, I might have saved the packing space!
