Hi all! I'm new here and have some questions. I'm looking to get my first gear items for snorkeling/freediving. Here is what I have so far.

Aeris Mako fins
Cressi America snorkel
Promate Beach Dog booties
IST Bluetech mask

Is this a decent setup for recreational snorkeling/freediving? I'm landlocked, but there are lots of high altitude lakes/reservoirs around me that are fun to snorkel.

Also, I need a swimsuit/board shorts/swim trunks but I'm a really big guy right now. I've been losing weight a lot over the last couple months and I want to keep going. I'm currently wearing size 46 pants so I'm looking for a big and tall swimsuit. I can find big swimsuits, but I can't find any that come to my knees. Ideally, I like my swimsuits to hit just below my kneecaps, but I can't find any that long!

Anyway, thanks for the help!
