Go visit several store and fine the masks in your price range.


Fit, form, function and comfort are the basic rules for choosing the right equipment. When you find the mask and snorkel that fills your requirement in the price range that you have. Then you will know which one you need to buy.What is a good mask and snorkel for scuba diving for under $70?
I bought a mask and dry top snorkel off ebay for around $50.





I'd recommend spending a little more and getting a mask with a bigger skirt or whatever it's called





Make sure your snorkel is a dry top snorkel (Here's the one I own http://cgi.ebay.com/DRY-TOP-DIVING-SCUBA-SNORKEL-SNORKELING-WATER-SPORTS_W0QQitemZ360174213148QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dc0e581c%26amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 [mine has a light on it] but I didn't see this one and likely would have got this one instead: http://cgi.ebay.com/IST-SN-50-Scuba-Diving-Dry-Top-Purged-Snorkel-BK-Yellow_W0QQitemZ320402377548QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a99784b4c%26amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14).
You can't really get advice on a 'good' mask. Everyones face will be different. The way to check if it's a good seal is stick it on your face without using the strap. Breathe in through your nose and if the mask sucks onto your face without letting any air in it's a good seal.





Can't help you with the snorkel I'm afraid. I threw mine away years ago.
Good snorkel for scuba diving? Easy. You do not really need one. The cheapest one will do. Good mask is trickier. Mask should sit tight on your face making proper air seal. It should be comfortable as well. Hard to advise anything. You just have to try for yourself.
Go to a dive store and get one. You need to try it on to make sure it will seal correctly. Don't buy a prepackaged mask. It may not fit right.
Speedo is probably the best buy you can get because I have a snorkle set from them and its still perfect after 5 years.
just go to a dive shop or sports store and they should all work great.
