Snorkel gear for family of four
Dear Community,
My family of four has the opportunity to snorkel for a week for the first time. Does anyone know of inexpensive options for using four snorkel masks and/or flippers for a week?
Thanks!

Are you sure you can't rent snorkel gear when you get there? I've only ever snorkeled in Hawaii but every little beach seems to have a rental truck if not a permanent onsite shack or nearby store. Many hotels have it available for guests for free or cheap. This is probably true of any tourist destination where the snorkeling is good. Their gear will be better quality than anything you could buy here cheaply. Even if you get it for free, it is a real pain to pack flippers and snorkels and take them with you on the plane, then bring them back, and then figure out where to store it all until the next time, if ever. I know so many people including myself who own ancient random snorkel gear that will never be used again. haha Try googling 'snorkel rental' in the town where you're headed.
I’m not sure about the quality, but I’ve seen used flippers and maybe snorkel masks in the used section of Berkeley Sports Basement and at Urban Ore.
