Would this be good to use for snorkeling?

Very much so. This will hold up the most inexperienced swimmer and make them feel like a champ.

yes, I bought this swin bell for snorkelling purpose. We just came back from cuba Jibacoa (breezes Jibacoa). The bell is very perfect for snorkelling, you can swin very confortable (not like a save jacket).

I think it would be fine for that. We use it for travel for 2 pairs of skis with poles and also put a helmet with goggles in it.

yes we used it for snorkeling in clear water and it was fine. Not as high tech as some much more expensive camera

Maybe. Although I'm not an avid snorkeler, my experience with snorkeling is that you need enough power to maneuver and speed to go deep quickly (we're holding our breath!). I use my Burners for lap swimming and they still move enough water to strengthen my kick. And they would consume less space than typical snorkel fins.

I bought it for a trip and yes I took it snorkeling and we had no issues. It's a cheap camera so you get what you pay for in quality. If I tried to take an out of water picture I had a lot more issues with dots of water or smudges or blurry spots but for the most part every picture I took under water was good. Hope that helps.

you could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

Yes it's waterproof but it will not work if you submerge deep down into the water according to the manual. But I use it for snorkeling and it works just fine

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

Shallow water yes... if you want to go deep water there is a different water proof case that you can buy that is meant for divers and deep water snorkeling.

Hello, I swim laps with this often in the pool with head phones. It works perfect. I also swim for fun and listen to my music under water without head phones using it as underwater speaker, Works great too. I have also used in snorkeling in ocean as a underwater camera, and in my pool as an underwater camera. That was safe, I still get some blur in underwater photo's, but above water photos are great! I would be happy to answer any more questions.

The case is more than sufficient for a pool or shower, maybe even day at the beach... But im honestly not positive about scuba diving.. I suppose if your not going to extreme depths were pressure is drastically increased it should be fine.

I used this camera for both SCUBA and snorkling in seawater without any problems. I did rinse the outside with fresh water when I finished, just as I would with my dive gear. I believe this is one of the best price/feature cameras for its price range.

yes, its waterproof for maybe for up to 2 ft under water. I took it on a cruise, used it on snorkeling excursion in Aruba.no problems, all was good.

It depends on if your child can swim. This is a swim vest, not a life vest. I put my non-swimmer in it and he went completely under water. It's not a flotation device. If your child can swim already, it might be good for snorkeling - it is thin and light weight.

It claims to be good to 40 meters. I have only used it snorkeling in daylight and it is fantastic for that. Very well made.

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

I've only snorkeled. It's great for snorkeling I don't know about deeper waters
