NABUL COMBO

The Aqua Lung Nabul combo pairs the frameless Nabul mask with a matching snorkel and a bag to carry both. Buying the two as a set is the sensible route for a first purchase. A mask and snorkel designed together clip cleanly and sit at the right angle without a separate keeper.

The mask is the standard Nabul, a single lens bonded straight to the silicone skirt with no frame. That cuts bulk and weight and keeps the internal volume low, so a mouthful of air clears it. Removing the frame also widens the view, because there is no centre bridge dividing it into two windows. The snorkel has a soft silicone mouthpiece and a splash-resistant top, and it attaches to the mask strap with a moulded keeper rather than a rubber loop that perishes. A gear bag is included to keep the pair together and to stop the lens being scratched by whatever else is in the beach bag.

The result is a matched set that works out of the box, at less than the two items would cost separately.

Supplied in grey or purple. Suited to snorkelling and shallow free diving rather than to scuba. The Mix combo is the junior equivalent for smaller faces.
