photos from mares.comMoney or no money, I've decided to buy new snorkeling gear in time for the office outing.
Some things I learned from the saleslady:
1. Mares is a brand known for snorkeling gear. Other less expensive brands may not be as reliable in terms of quality
2. Look for gear that has no phthalates -- something manufacturers use to make plastic look like real silicon
3. Phthalates can cause skin allergies
I did some research and found out that phthalates have been found to have bad effects on our endocrine and reproductive systems. It also has some links to obesity. Ganun?!
Mas compelling reason yata yun kesa skin allergies. Anyway, my new gear doesn't have phthalates. Thank goodness! At least hindi ako tataba sa kaka-snorkeling, di ba?
