> a mask (with a silicone skirt and a wide field of vision) to see clearly underwater and prevent water from getting in contact with the eyes
> a snorkel (with valve), to breathe on the surface while keeping the head underwater
> flippers (with medium-sized wings) to move faster.
In addition, to protect oneself from the cold and to observe the seabed for a longer time, the snorkeler is equipped with thermal protection, namely a neoprene suit or lycra (rashguard), the choice is according to the destination, the snorkelling duration and the water temperature.
