If you are planning to visit Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, consider renting a professional snorkel set from our Dive shop in Waikiki. We will give you a scuba diving mask that does not leak, fits your face and has the best field of vision. Our snorkels are designed not to let the water in plus we have the new Cressi desert dry snorkel which is the best dry snorkel available. We have daily (24 hour) and weekly (7 days) rentals so you can use our equipment in Waikiki or any other beaches or snorkel excursions that you may go on. You also will not have to wait in line at Hanauma Bay to rent a set of snorkel equipment and to return the set. The lines at the Hanauma Bay rental section can be very long. We can also deliver your equipment to your hotel and pick up the equipment at your hotel. If you like our equipment, you can use what you paid for rental towards the purchase of the equipment.

Adds extra comfort & security for snorkelers
Easily inflates with a few puffs of air and deflates if required.
Snorkel vests are small inflatable vests that can be worn in the water to help improve buoyancy while snorkeling. Snorkeling vests are not designed to be life vests or to allow those who can't swim to snorkel. Rather, these vests provide buoyancy that allows the wearer to relax a bit and focus on the sites below the water. Snorkeling vests usually inflated by blowing through a small tube, and the air ir released by pressing on a small valve.
Vests are an excellent idea for those who may not be the strongest of swimmers (especially children) or for those who simply want to expend less energy moving around in the water.
Snorkeling vests are included in all of our snorkle tours.

500 PSI Mask Defog is without question the clearest, longest acting and most effective defog on the market. One application works for at least three dives in one day. Cleans your mask each time you use it. Wet or dry application.

Small bottle included with snorkel set rental.
Preventing Defog
No matter how well you prepare your mask, it will defog up before you even get into the water if you handle it inappropriately. Once you remove the mask from your gear bag, keep it out of direct sunlight. If you are not going to don your equipment immediately after assembling it, put it somewhere out of the sun where it won't get damaged.
When it is time to gear up, do not place the mask on your head (front or back).That is the surest way to cause it to fog up immediately. Fog is caused by condensation of water vapor due to a difference in temperature between the inside andoutside of the mask window glass. Your forehead and hair can radiate enough heat to create instant fog. Once a mask has fogged above water, it becomes more difficult to keep it from fogging up again during the dive.
It is best to hang the mask around your neck until you are ready to don it for entry. Avoid exhaling through your nose into the mask. Hot breath also encourages fog formation.
