Norm,
If you want cheap, DON'T go to a dive store! Sometimes COSTCO has them in the
spring (we're almost there aren't we?) and other general sports stores may have
them. Catalog stuff is less expensive, but you really have to make sure the thing
fits or you'll hate using it. I have a "dry" snorkel that is worth the extra bucks
-- water that goes in goes out and you don't choke on it, and it is rigid instead
of floppy - a HUGE comfort advantage. If you come up this way we may have an extra
-- just let us know when? (hows THAT for a mini nanfa trip incentive?) Katrina
