There are 3 shops close to each other selling seasport & dive equipment in Lucky Plaza basement - together they offer quite a wide variety of gear. I usually get my stuff from one of them called Paris Dept Store. There's also another one at the Concourse at Beach Rd.

Some dept stores (Takashimaya lvl below Best Denki, Carrefour Suntec) also sell those packaged sets (snorkel with mask) which are cheaper but as with most things, you get the quality you pay for.

i've been to lucky plaza las weekend to chk out the pxs.. here's wat i saw:

tubes alone cld set u back as much as $40. mask alone there're some which costs >$50. most of the masks are without pxs, and i dare not ask oso. they oso sell sets (mask+tube) and it's ard $80.

mayb mus bargain wif them.. but they don look frenly leh. oh mayb they smell dat i'm a poor mouse so i kena ignored. hahaa..

dat's roughly the px range u're looking at.

Hey, it's Lucky Plaza, not a dept store. You definitely need to bargain there :)

Anyway, expect to pay >$35 for a reasonably good mask (I paid about $70 for mine) and >$25 for a reasonably good snorkel. Those budget sets (mask & snorkel) at dept stores like Taka, Isetan & Carrefour should cost anywhere from $40 upwards (not including the kiddy ones).

I've also seen budget sets sold by Speedo and others on sale in Jaya Jusco outlets in M'sia (eg. mid-valley mall in KL, 1 Utama in PJ etc.). Quite reasonably priced (if I'm not mistaken, around RM70) and quite nice too.
