can an adult use this for snorkeling? I have used a ski type belt before, but want something a bit less cumbersome

yes, even for an adult more than 200 pounds. We use this belt when snorkelling in cuba.

We bought these for 2 adults, 1 child, and 2 large teenage boys for snorkeling. They worked great for everyone. You can take off sections to fit each individual. This belt is awesome!

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

Yes, I'm sure you could fit snorkel gear. I keep a few items in there when it's packed...dry pag, mini pole, lure box, vest...awesome board that can take a beating!

Absolutely!!! The bigger ones give you advantage in the traction. This ones are better to snorkeling, are big enough to give you enough pushing to snorkeling and its little enough to carry them comfortably.

I am so accustomed to wearing a snorkel, I haven't noticed that it impairs vision at all. I wear goggles every swim so, I would say its safe to wear a mask.

Probably, I used it for snorkeling, but it's got acord and big clip that you can attach to yourself or clothing.

I'm about the same and use an adult large/XL on my nat'l ski patrol winter helmet. The snaps will never line up with the different helmets (ISO 9000 anyone?). I detached the majority of my strap and attached it to motorcycle replacement buckles. If you can drill you own male end snaps you'll get a custom fit. Very comfortable chin cup. Has holes to drain sweat and does not absorb sweat. I also have one on my high angle technical rescue helmet. Saves my chin if I catch a wall.

I personally would buy something a little more substantial than the Black Diamond Half Dome. Also, if you are going to be wearing this for extended periods of time, then it can become uncomfortable. Lastly, this helmet was designed for rock climbers and alpine hikes, not the demands of water rescue. You could probably use it and be fine, but If it were me I would select a water rescue helmet.

I used it for snorling in the Bahamas, I think it would be good because it doesn't float. It does fill up with water though and it's kind of hard to get it out .

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

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

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

No problem for the equipment and a single gi (if you're an adult). Awfully tight fit for equipment/two judogi, especially if everything is wet. Could probably be done but not easily. You'd be fighting to zip it up unless everything was perfectly folded, know what I mean?

I bought mine as a gift and I do not know how it is working. I'll try to find out for you but I don't know if this person uses it very much. Sorry I couldn't be more help. snorkie

Not overly restrictive. I think it's fine for snorkeling. I'm not sure how old your child is but it will help them float on stomach or back.

No!I tend to run out of wind before my arms give out. the snorkel lets me focus on stroke and not have to worry about getting air.The tube is a bit long, but breathing through it is not an issue.

I believe the Glide snorkel is a lighter design, but doesn't have the purge valve. I don't find the Swimmer's snorkel to be heavy at all, but I've never tried the Glide.

Im not a professional diver, bit used it for a Jamaca vacation and it worked well. And will be taking it again! Thanks for the question!
