Would anyone recommend these for travel/snorkeling? They seem like the perfect lightweight solution considering one does not snorkel very often.

These fins are extremely buoyant. They are great for lap swim, but if you like to swim under the water when snorkeling, as opposed to floating on top, you will have to wrestle with these as they tend to make you float feet-up. Better to have neutral fins for snorkeling.

I used them for snorkeling in Hawaii They work but not well If you don't want to hassle with packing fins they will do in a pinch but if you are going out more than once I would opt for regular dive fins

These would probably work well for travel/snorkeling as they are lightweight and flexible. They're smaller than full size scuba/snorkeling fins, which means they're easier to pack, but you won't get as much power from them as you would from full size fins.

Yes, amazing. Leave a couple of inches empty and zip lock rum runners in extra bag. One leaked a little because on expansion. I cruise all the time and never leave home without them. Have a great cruise.

I only use them on travel and at the beach. So I can't answer your question regarding daily use. They seem to stay untangled for me.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

No, I love these things....I am leaving to go camping and swimming again on Thursday and plan to apply on Wednesday night and should be good for the whole weekend. I don't try to go really dark -- just enough to knock off the the blindness. I truly wished I had discovered these years ago as I have spent so much money trying to find the 'ONE' and this is it!!!! Good luck...hope you like them as much as I do.

Yes - the weight is sufficient for a enhanced workout but doesnt hinder movement unduly. I can actually swim with them - its an effort but its doable. And when you take them off and swim it feels like you're turbo-charged :)

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

For underwater, I thought they were pretty good shots. We used ours in Puerto Morales, so same vicinity as Cozumel. If you want to contact me at dasjman@yahoo.com, I can send you a couple images I took this past June while snorkeling, if it helps you decide. Obviously, the more expensive cameras take better pictures, but for the price, I was very satisfied with it.

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.

That is why I purchased them. They helped watching wild life, whales, eagles, mountain goats, etc. Wife says they were not too heavy. We have lighter glasses but they are larger and cheaper and not as effective. Enjoy trip!!!

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

I did not use when snorkeling. I used these shoes in a water aerobics class. I did not have any trouble with them slipping while exercising. I think they would be OK.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

I found them to be very lightweight and comfortable....I like the micro-suede material, too. After using them for a while, I also noticed that I hear outside noise if listening at normal levels like the other user's review.

They are not waterproof but the dry very quickly and are very light. I bought four pairs for a recent Europe trip and they worked great. If necessary, you can hand wash them and they will dry in a hour or so in your hotel room.

i just had someone tell me on a recent trip (1-17-15) they went snorkeling in costa rica and it was the first time they used the masked and she said it did not leave a line and was super comfortable, and everybody had the same equipment/brand and were all very happy with this product...the water temp might have a bit to do with the lines too...if its colder the material might contract more and warmer stays softer..these waters were definitely warmer and again no lines, very comfortable mask and the fins did not leave or wear any blisters on the feet anywhere...hope this helps :)
