If your younger kids (or older ones) have difficult snorkeling, try a full face mask! The mask seals around the entire face, which decreases the chance of water getting into the mask. It’s equipped with a mechanism that seals the top of the snorkel when submerged. The purge valve at the bottom of the mask to drain water when the head is raised. My youngest one refused to snorkel until he used one of these. It was a game changer! And an added bonus, this one will mount your GoPro camera for awesome underwater pics.
