What color of diving mask and suit is perfect for under water snorkeling.

[Abby1]

I have a pink diving mask, but want a new one for the next trip. So what color you guys usually wear? How about prepare a snorkeling suit?

I've snorkelled since the late 1950s and I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the snorkelling equipment I use when swimming in the cold waters of the North Sea. In the case of masks, I prefer single-lens oval masks with blue skirts, which can still be purchased new online if you know where to look, e.g.

The Neptun and Ixtapa models above were manufactured respectively in Russia and Mexico.

You need to look cool underwater, so choose something that doesn't clash with your style.

A splash of colour always looks good. I have a black mask, red snorkel and blue and black fins

And here is a vintage diving/snorkelling suit with matching fins:

A yellow-skirted mask is harder to find, but here's a new Korea-made mask I picked up once on eBay:

It's reasonably easy to assemble a matching set of snorkelling gear when going vintage or retro style because solid colours are the rule. It's much harder in the case of "modern" gear. Today's manufacturers apparently think that everybody wants permutations and combinations of different colours, just because the technology is there to do so.

What about this one!? A little heavy but it looks cool underwater!...

black skirts I think are crucial for skin diving. The bright sun can reflect back off your lenses and you can see quite clear details of your cheeks in the reflection. I find it immensely annoying.
