There is nothing more spectacular than to venture under water and see the wonderful wildlife that inhabit on beautiful coral reefs or the bottom of a sandy sea. As human beings we are not built to cope with diving into shallow waters without any equipment to aid us. Snorkel sets have been one of the best inventions created to help us get an insight into the underwater world without having to wear scuba-gear and oxygen tanks.
The first piece in a snorkeling set id the mask which allows clear visibility in salt water or chlorinated water, the mask has two adjustable straps to provide a snug fit around the eyes and nose of the diver. The second piece are the flippers, to help with propulsion when swimming around under the surface of the water. These flippers are easy to slip on and comfortable to wear. The last and most important piece of the snorkel set is the snorkel. The snorkel is used as a breathing apparatus when submerged in the water. It is essentially a large, sturdy straw which is fitted from the mouth, around the face and extends above the surface of the water allowing the diver to breathe through it whilst remaining underwater. However, those who are experienced divers, know that if the diver descends deeper into the body of water the snorkel then starts filling up with water and the diver would have to then hold their breath.
Snorkel sets are a very cheap and effective way of exploring the underwater world. It is an idea to practice using the snorkel sets in swimming pools before you have to use them in the sea. There are certain tips on using each one of the items and how to look after them.
We provide various different types of snorkels and snorkel sets for diving and swimming. These are our best sellers and we have had some great reviews from people who had used them whilst on holiday:
This year we are expanding our range of Bouncy Castles at Outdoor Leisure Direct. We understand the importance of supplying our customers with outdoor products and also indoor products (as we all know the weather in the UK can change for the worse!).

At Outdoor Leisure Direct we understand that it is not always suitable to be outside so we are bringing in new items that are appropriate for indoor use, one of which are our fabulous Football Tables!
Similar to football the aim of the game is to ‘kick’ the football into your opponent’s goal. In table football this is done by using the figurines that are lined up along metal rods that are controlled by moving across the table. Whoever has had the most goals at the end wins!
The Football Table comes to you flat-packed. The box includes everything you need to fix the table up, all the pieces (31 different parts), instruction leaflet, an allen wrench to assemble it all with but most importantly we have made a video for you to help show you how to do it.
Our fixed 4ft fixed football tables are really straight forward and easy to put up – have a look at how simple it is:
These are great fun for adults and children.
Dimensions and measurements are:
- 4ft long x 30″ High x 24″ Wide
- Playing Surface 104cm x 58cm
- Weighs 22kg
Football players set up in 1-2, 5-3 formation along chrome rods with gripping handles on the end. One team is in red-coloured shirts and the other blue shirts. The pitch is green with white markings set out like a standard football pitch.
There are score pieces on either side of the table so during games it is easy to keep score of any team goals. The pocket openings either side of the table hold the football ball once a goal is scored, making it easy to retrieve the ball and keep the flow of the game.
There are flaming football designs (mainly black, white, orange and yellow colours) along the side and end panels.

All these videos will be available to watch on our YouTube Channel to help you make your decision.

One of our best sellers at Outdoor Leisure Direct is our great range of airbeds. They are fantastic temporary beds that are comfortable, safe and good value for money.
