Author: DiveMaster

Because of this, many people panic in the water and have difficulty maintaining the prone position. If you are having trouble staying afloat and want extra reassurance in the water, consider investing in a snorkel vest.

The vest will provide extra buoyancy and offer a sense of security. Even if you are comfortable in the water, it’s still advisable to wear a jacket whenever you are snorkeling. You never know when you’re going to be stung by a jellyfish or get a cramp hundreds of feet from the coastline, and the vest can help you stay above water until help arrives.
