Snorkeling Life Vest

Float easy, snorkel longer. The Snorkeling Life Vest from Starboards Supply Co. adds adjustable buoyancy that lets you relax at the surface instead of treading water, so you spend your energy watching the reef rather than staying afloat. It packs almost flat in a suitcase, making it the easiest piece of safety gear you will ever travel with.

Inflate it by mouth in seconds and fine-tune the air level for exactly the lift you want, from light assistance to full float. The adjustable straps fit a wide range of body sizes, and six bright colors, black, blue, green, orange, pink, and red, keep you visible to boats and buddies. Deflated, it rolls small enough for any day bag.

Bring it on snorkel tours, resort lagoon days, and calm-water swims where a little extra lift means a lot more comfort. One important note: this vest is a buoyancy aid for swimmers, not a certified life jacket, so it should not replace proper flotation for non-swimmers or children, and everyone should stay within supervised swim areas. Then go find the fish. Because buoyancy adjusts on the fly, confident swimmers can vent air for easier diving down to look closer, then re-inflate at the surface for a rest between explorations.
