Hi all,

My wife and I are heading to Curacao in October and plan on doing a fair
amount of snorkeling while we are there.  I am pretty comfortable in the
water but my wife, while she has enjoyed snorkeling on other trips we have
made (Jamaica & Aruba) tends to get a little claustrophobic at times and
just has to get her head up out of the water and rest occasionally.

I think that some type of flotation device would help make her feel much
more comfortable in the water and greatly increase her snorkeling enjoyment.

I was hoping the group here could make some recommendations as to what she
could use.
She has tried a snorkel vest in the past and while it worked well she said
it was a little awkward (and I think she was a little self concious about
wearing it).

Wondering if something like a 3mm neoprene vest would provide enough
additional flotation to allow her to get her head up out of the water and
relax when necessary (she is 5'6" 110lbs)

Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions
