TheRedHead:It is always amazing to me to see such new divers talk about dive education. Been diving to 130 feet?
fftopic:
I actually work in a dive shop... have my certs in AOW, Rescue, deep, wreck and work on DM... I am sorry, I haven't updated my profile in a while....
and to answer your question... YES, I have been to 130.
Plus, not off topic, as the OP ask if the snorkeling gear would work for scuba... so I was simply giving my thoughts on if I would want to be using a snorkeling mask on a deeper dive. OW cert dives can be as deep as deep as 60 swf. So if you tell a person that the gear used for snorkeling can be used for scuba with OUT stating the limits of it, then your doing a dis service to that person. They will always think that the gear is fine at any recreational limits.
