I been cautioned by fellow cruisers that DiCapac is more for incidental splashing and not for actual snorkeling. Is that true?

I took mine snorkeling and it worked fine. You have to make sure that the camera is positioned properly, and there is difficulty adjusting the buttons. But I got some great pics with it. Above water, you have to watch out for water drops on the front of the lens case. the camera will try to focus on those.

Hi,We used it for our trip to the Galapagos and it preformed very well. Didn't have any problems with it. Well the only issue we had was the fit. The bag was a little big for our camera, a Nikon Coolpix P520

Perfectly safe. You however would use different filters dependent upon the type of water and depth you are diving. I have only used the SWCY filter for shallow tropical water.

I would use the snap on filters. Compromiseing the dive housing by unscrewing the mount makes me nervous. If you are not actually "diving" but just going in the water using the standard waterproof case just use the snap on filters you'll be fine.

Dear Maria:I suggest you go to the DicaPac web page and there they have the information for brands and models. Good luck!

honestly? It was more trouble than it was worth. The camera would heat the inside with it'simple photo use and fog up the INSIDE lens. It's difficult to make the camera fit well and then to handle the camera in the water on top of this I wish I had purchased an inexpensive underwater camera. MY DiCap is going up for sale on ebay...interested?

I bought it for snorkeling in Cozumel in March. The water was about 75. It was great for that. The neck was a little loose but that was fine for what I needed it for.

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

Sorry Juan I can't answer your question because I don't have a snorkel on my FJ. You might want to try a FJ site.

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.

Idk. We only use it in Hawaii snorkeling and snuba-ing, so not very deep. Works great though! Air tight!

I'm not sure I'd trust this case for extended submersion. It was great against splashes and in my pocket at the beach wading in waist-deep water, but it definitely has a budget feel to it. I'd look at more substantial solutions if you expect your device to be underwater for any prolonged period of time or at any significant depth.

It is designed to keep the wearer upright in the water, so although it would add bouyancy, you might be fighting its design to orient you in an upright position. Honestly, I have never tried using it in a horizontal snorkeling position, so this si my brst guess.

Did I say this? I don't know about two person installation on a snorkel. I do know that I would not have been able to learn the breaststroke without it. My breathing on the stroke without the snorkel came after I figured out the stroke timing and was doing the kick correctly. I still use it occasionally to work on my kick. Great product!

I would recommend the sevylor rio instead of the quickpack. It is better made and it is open like a canoe. It doesn't track in the water quite as well as the quickpack but for an inflatable it's a fun way to get away from the shoreline and get some exercise.

Sure, they should work for you. They are shorter which, when you are new to this is a good thing. But, unless you are going pro, Trek fin is just fine for what you are doing. Even you are really serious about doing snorkeling all the time then don't spend a lot of money. you can do that for another trip. Neither of these finsare the top of the line but they are easy to pack and easy enough to get used to. Also, taking your own equipment, while perhaps a bit burdensome,is worth it to be able to swim/snorkle whenever you want. Most of the rental shacks have strict times and shut up in the shank of the evening. That said, enjoy your trip! Sure, they should work for you.

Is not a "dive light" per se. Probably could get away with snorkeling, but it's really about floating and working submerged, like unfowling a prop on a boat or something like that. That's why I bought it and have it on my boat.

Hey, when you drill into your fender the rest goes begind so I dont think youll have an issue. Lining up is the key before you drill. This is more or less for looks rather than full aspect of snorkel. Install pretty easy until you go to your air box. Good luckA
