Brand: Blue Reef
Located in: Assorted Accessories, General Accessories
Getting ready to go on a tropical vacation to Saint Somewhere or maybe the Florida Keys would be nice, whatever it is if there is warm water you've got to go snorkeling! Enjoying snorkeling includes be comfortable and safe when in thewater. Using a snorkeling vest increases safety and comfort. The bright orange or yellow color allows watercraft operators to recognize that people are in the surrounding water and to keep clear, it also allows people to see you easily forpick up by your own watercraft.

More importantly you remain comfortable when enjoying the wonders of the reef. The snorkeler can orally inflate and deflate the volume of air in the vest to their requirements. Add just a little air to use it as a "pillow" under your chest to help hold your head and snorkel above water. Fully inflate in stressfulsituations to relax and rest. Deflate by yourself to return to surface diving activities. Fits comfortably over the snorkelers head and secures firmly to the body with two adjustable straps.

[...]. I got lots of use in the carribean snorkeling. It really paid to have my own and made out vacation even better because we could safely swim out much farther without worry of getting tired. A real life saver.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

It took the worry out of my beginner 7 yr old snorkeling in 25 feet of water and made all the kids easily visible. My 12 year old could easliy deflate it and dive to the bottom if he wanted to. I wore one when snorkeling with the 7 yr old because he would frequently grab onto me and this helped me to be able to float better when with him. Great product and great price!!

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

This vest worked out great. It was purchased for my 11 year old son who went snorkeling for the first time on our vacation in Cozumel. We snorkeled in 20+ feet deep of water and the vest did a great job giving us all a level of comfort. The vest travels well too. It folded up nicely and fit in his snorkel bag with no problem. I would highly recomend this product.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

What a great vest. I am not a very good swimmer and felt very comfortable snorkeling with this vest on.
I felt safe wearing it and was calm in the water wearing it.
It did not "float up" on me and stayed where I have cinched it. Very easy to inflate and deflate. Packed nicely in my suitcase. Recommended for any ability. This vest was just what I was looking for.
I went snorkeling three times on my vacation, and saved money by having bought my own vest.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

My spouse and I used these on 4 country snorkel in the Caribbean. It stays flat when not using, and fit well. Easy to blow up and flatten, and has an air lock on the blow tube that's easy to use and locks easily. Just get the right size for you, and you're in business. Would definitely reccomend. We bought the orange, was easy to see in the blue caribbean.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

When I was younger, I would have laughed at the thought of anyone wearing a vest when they snorkeled. Now that I'm older, I've learned things happen at the worst possible time. I'll never snorkel again without a vest. I don't inflate it. But it's good to know it's there and can be inflated with no hassle and a few quick puffs. You never know when you'll cramp up fighting an unexpected rip current or something similar. It's easy to use, and the straps are extra long, so no worry about them fitting tight.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

I'm new to snorkeling and took my 2 sons ages 7 & 10 for the first time. They are not the best swimmers and were nervous to be in the ocean over their heads. Within minutes of use, the 3 of us had the best time. We snorkeled for hours. (It was so nice to not have to worry about them getting too tired either.) It folds up small and fit easily in our bags!!

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef Snorkeling Vest:

These vests are not cheaply made and are easy to use. They are generously sized and priced right. I have had to rent snorkel equipment that is inferior in quality, unsanitary, and more expensive that simply owning my own. My family of four is now fully outfitted.
