Hi allaniest
masks are subjective depending on your face shape try as many as you can cressi minima suits me.
Snorkel i use any i have handy simple j style and soft is usually best.
fins i use cressi garas and have no complaints but they take getting used too. there are several types LD are softer and may be easier to use on the surface.
suits i use a cressi 5m supercomp off the peg and have no complaints i also have an elios which are worth the few extra euro but you cant go wrong with the cressi.
weight belt just make sure its rubber as it can stretcg when you breath.
note i dont work for cressi but find their products good for a reasonable price.
