Is there a store in Zihua that sells reasonably priced snorkelling gear?
Thanks!

Unless you are going to snorkel daily, rentals are so easy and cheap. We don't even carry our masks and fins to Isla Ixtapa, it's stupidly cheap to rent good gear, and we have our personal gear in our moho.

Fins and masks are OK to rent but i always bring my own snorkel. i put that thing in my mouth so I would never trust that it was sterilised properly.:shocked:

Honestly, after spitting in your mask, smearing it around until it squeaks so it doesn't fog, and playing the ocean. Your concern is sanitation? How about a great ocean experience?????

I'll hear it for this one.....

I`m guessing by your last statement that you are fishing for a reaction.I`ll bite first......Would smearing probiotic yogourt over the equipment protect me from any communicable diseases?

Possibly.

However, to get the fog off of the inside of your mask, you have to use either spit, not necessarily your own, or a commercial substitute. The commercial version is iffy at times.

Honestly, I wasn't going for the reaction, but the response of someone who snorkels/paddles/swims with their dogs daily, and wants to share! Sharing information is important, too.

It's wonderful being ocean people.
