Why Use a Snorkeling Vest?

A snorkeling vest for adults or kids enhances safety, keeps you comfortably afloat, and conserves energy—especially on longer excursions. Unlike life jackets, snorkel vests allow you to float while still letting you submerge when needed, making your underwater experience smooth and enjoyable.

Types of Snorkeling Vests Available

Horse Collar Vests: Inflatable, worn over the head, and ideal for easy buoyancy adjustment. Perfect for travel and tropical snorkeling destinations.

Hybrid Vests: Combine air chambers and foam padding for versatile buoyancy. Lightweight and easy to pack.

Jacket-Style Snorkel Vests: Made from neoprene and secured with zippers and buckles—great for rougher waters or extended surface swimming.
