Horrible value!! A cheap rubber set works much better! Jun 26, 2008 Water kept seeping into the nose part of the mask as soon as I would put my face in the water. The problem is that the mask is not capable of creating a watertight seal the way good masks do. No matter how much I tightened the mask, it wouldn't prevent water from seeping in. In addition, the flippers are much harder to use than ordinary rubber flippers because they are not nearly as flexible and they slip off much too easily. I switched to a cheap rubber snorkel set and was MUCH happier. Save yourself the money and buy a rubber set.
Excellent set for a beginer Jun 13, 2008 Recently we took a south Caribbean cruise and one of our stops was Aruba where we planned to snorkel for the first time. The thought of using rented equipment sounded unsanitary to me so I bought two of these sets to take with us.
The flippers worked great, and ours were even envied and complimented by others who had their own equipment. We'd purchased neoprene footies to wear with the flippers to prevent blisters and improve the fit. This I highly recommend. The flippers fit well and did not slip or fall off while in the water. They made moving through the water quite easy, giving lots of thrust. The flippers are long, about 23 1/2 inches long so if you plan to pack them in a suitcase, make sure your luggage is long enough.
The snorkel tube fit comfortably in the mouth and has an automatic drainage system that allows any water to drain out without having to open any valves or anything. It attaches to the mask to hold it in proper position.
The mask was my only problem. A couple of times I had difficulty getting it tight enough to seal out water. The clips on the sides aren't the greatest, but then again this is an inexpensive set. Once the seal was secured the mask worked great as long as I remembered to wipe the inside of the lenses with saliva first (yes, you need to spit in them to prevent fogging, if you don't you won't see a thing). The goggles are curved, with large lenses to allow for better viability in the water.
Snorkeling was a blast, and having this set made it possible to enjoy a whole new experience without having to use rented gear that no telling what germs linger on. This is a good set at a good price, and if not for the sealing issue with the goggles I'd have given it 5 stars.

Stay away May 14, 2008 Do not buy this pair. It's badly made and badly designed. After a couple of days of beach going with the occasional snorkeling the fins started to deteriorate, literally, and the mask was always full of water no matter the corrections I made to the strap. Very bad choice even for swimming in pools. Stay away.
Great Deal for Casual Snorkeler Apr 29, 2008 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.

PVC out gassing smell aggravated my sinus's. Couldn't use snorkel and mask. Apr 28, 2008 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.
