U.S. Divers Cozumel Mask, Seabreeze Dry Snorkel, and Proflex II Fin Snorkeling Set

The fins alone are $20 so $30 for the fins, snorkel and mask is a great deal. No it's not a professional set and it's likely the mask will need to be replaced after a season or two of use, but it's not supposed to last forever. The fins alone are well worth the cost of the set.

We are going to the Keys next week and we needed an inexpensive snorkeling set to take with us for exploring. This one will do perfectly. We have tried it out in the pool a few times already with no complaints. The mask straps do take some getting used to but as long as you slide the plastic sliders away from the clips on the side of the mask, you can easily tighten the straps.

I would advise paying the extra money for the silicone versions of this product line.

This particular form of softened PVC=(PolyVinylChloride) in this US Divers model line gives off a noxious, irritating plastic smell. It's also known to cause health issues when exposed to it for an extended period of time especially around the mouth, nose and eyes and you couldn't get any closer with a PVC snorkel and mask. Check its MSDS and Wikipedia's info on phthalate plasticizers to soften PVC on the web if you have any concerns. Don't know if that's what's causing the irritating smell.

I couldn't use the mask and snorkel so I basically paid $30 at Target for the use of the fins, but the Proflex II's were too flimsy and tired me out quickly. I returned the Proflex II kit to Target.

Got the Trek package at Walmart figuring the PVC smell would be less an issue. It was worse, but the Trek fins were excellent. Check out my review of those here. So now I'm taking that US Divers kit back and getting just the Trek fins at $17.

I have a size six womens shoe and the fins fit perfectly. The mask didn't stay as tight as I would have liked, but perhaps I should have gotten a childs mask. Snorkel tube worked good as well.

I enjoyed using this set. Before we traveled it was a good value in comparison to other retailers. The mask and fins were great. I wear a 7.5 - 8 shoe and the medium was a good snug fit. I was glad I bought my own set prior to vacation. I had a litle difficulty putting on the mask, but I am also a beginner at that sort of thing. I would recommend this set. It was a great experience. Thank you!

I am sure its not pro grade stuff but you cannot beat it for a nice started kit. Bought it for a cruise and it worked great. I bought the set cheaper than all the rentals would be.
