Hi! We'll be in Ambergris Caye for 3 days over New Years, and I was wondering whether we should pick up some quality snorkeling gear before we go?

Also, if the answer is yes, where can I look for good quality stuff without breaking the bank? And for the experts out there, what features are essential? (Snorkeled once before, but would like to make it more frequent!)

Thanks so much!
Marci

PS thanks also for previous help on finding a room. We were able to find something at Exotic Caye!
