Hey everyone, and thank you all for your answers, i've read them all but too many to reply individually.
Clearly there's pro's n cons about the different snorkels and right now i'm actually even a little more confused haha..but, i think i will go for the simple J one at first.
I plan to do most of my dives in Mediterranean (off the coast of Tel Aviv) and in Eilat (red sea) and initially i will be doing more shore dives than boat dives, especially in Eilat where it's quite common (i hear) to snorkel out as the reef etc is very close to shore.
So i will buy the simple one, regular J without the dry feature and floppyness (bendable) etc. and hopefully it will be ok. I am not a free diver or anything like that either, just a complete newbie looking to buy something suitable for my level and location of dives...
Regarding mask, yep, definitely need a good fit. Thanks for the tip about clear vs black also!
Finding so much help on this board it's really great (i admit becoming kinda addicted...) )
