Swimcell 15L Tow Float

Every snorkeller should be armed with this crucial safety device and we think this one is one of the very best on the market.

Better still, the nylon body is fiber-reinforced so you can be certain that your gift will last and be treasured for many years to come
Beaver Marlin Knife

For a smaller cutting device or the perfect stocking filler, why not opt for the Beaver Marlin Knife as your snorkelling gift pick? This incredibly compact but strong knife is also more than capable of cutting through any tough materials and includes a handy nylon webbing sheath so that it can be easily attached when snorkelling. We also highly recommend the Beaver Marlin Knife for use when scuba diving, so it could be the ultimate gift if your loved one has a wide range of water-based hobbies!
Cressi Anti-Fog Spray

A foggy mask can really ruin the snorkelling experience, hampering visibility and creating unnecessary interruptions to clear the fog! However, with the Cressi Anti-Fog Spray, you can eliminate these frustrations as it keeps your loved one’s mask crystal clear and allows for seamless underwater exploration. We are certain that this simple yet highly useful gift will be greatly appreciated on any upcoming snorkelling trip, making it one of our best gifts for snorkellers this year.

It can clip easily into most mask buckles and utilises an elastic construction to ensure the perfect fit every time.
