Snorkel Set

What kinda of Snorkeling Gear is Good?
My fiance wants to get into snorkeling and such. So i was gonna buy him the gear and a wet suit for xmas. I kno they say its prolly better to go in and try the equipment on first, but is it really neccessary?
-Also hes not a pro but i dont wanna get a cheap cheap set, whats a decent beginners brand?..
-snorkel - mask - fins?
Yeah you better get him in to try things on. If a mask doesn't fit properly it'll make snorkeling a miserable experience. Mask are not made one Size Fits all. They're all slightly different, just like every face is different.
Same goes for suit. Too big and it will let water flow through it too fast taking away body heat faster than it can be produced. May as well not be wearing anything at all. Too small and it will make movement very uncomfortable and restrict blood circulation..again making him cold.
Your best bet is to hit a dive shop. At this time of year they are stocking up big on their snorkeling gear in anticipation of travelers heading to the Carib. They'll have deals on gear kits too.
Which manufacturer? If you're purchasing from a dive shop, all of what they carry will be good. There's far too many manufacturers to list individually but Mares, Cressi, Dive Rite and Aqua Lung are just some examples. Wet suit? Bare and Henderson usually top the list.
Avoid stores like Target or Walmart. They typically sell brands like Dolphino, which are fine for kiddies in a pool who don't care their mask is flooding or fins fall off but not for snorkeling in a real world environment.
Give the BF a gift certificate ( or one you make up symbolically for the actual B Day) to the local dive shop and let him find what works for him. The staff there will make sure he gets a good fit for all the gear.
Edit: DON'T buy this gear online. How is he supposed to try it on? You'll be spending more money than you're trying to save just shipping items back that I guarantee won't fit.
