Rating: Snorkel for the Scuba Diver
Reviewer: William Clark,
the quality of a snorkel is how well it fits with your mask and other equipment and this snorkel is custom made.
the mouthpiece is comfortable, just the right size and easy to use. the flex tube at the bend of the snorkel is just the right diameter and flexibility. and best of allyes the best is yet to come and the best is the flap at the water surface seals tightly and completely to assure the no water gets past and you do not enhale any water.

Rating: truly a dry snorkel
Reviewer: Christopher H., - View all my reviews
This is easlily the best dry snorkel Ive ever had. Many say theyre dry, but cannot come close to delivering. The sherwood takes on no water. It stayed completely dry. The ratcheting system makes it easy to adjust it to the mask. it is awesome.

Rating: Great snorkel
Reviewer: Serena H.,
When I bough this snorkel for my husband and I, one the selling points was that is was a dry snorkel at a reasonable price. So far it has performed well, and while I dont believe any snorkel is 100% dry, I havent gotten mouthfuls of water when I dove under the surface. Overall very satisfied with my purchase, would recommend to a friend.

ive always had trouble with water filling up my snorkel in surf. this snorkel is awesome. ive gone out in relatively rough conditions, with waves ping me below the waterline, and ive had no water enter this snorkel. it is absolutely awesome.

Rating: Great Product
Reviewer: stephen bachert,
Hi, Im new to the scuba world and purchased this snorkel as part of my basic kit. I am impressed with its ability to seal out water when submerged. If you keep the mouth piece in and dive, when you surface the snorkel is clear of water or has very little in it. It also has an adjustable mask strap clip which is also a big help. I would buy it again in a heart beat.

Rating: satisfied with product
Reviewer: Renee G., - View all my reviews
This is my first time buying a snorkel, so I wanted to get a good one. I am satisfied with this snorkel.
The only problem was that the splash guard fell off and was lost in the sea. However, once I contacted scuba.com I was told that this problem was limited to a particular batch of defective snorkels and sent me a new one immediately with no extra charges.
The automatic close at the top also works really well when free diving, although sometimes a bit of water can get it, but the purge comes in really handy anyway.
all in all, I am satisfied with the product for the price. I am even more satisfied with scuba.com customer service!

Rating: Great Snorkel
Reviewer: Alexander Weisman,
This snorkel seems to live up to how it is advertised. It even impressed the manager of my local dive shop. It breathes nicely, clears easy, and it seems to stay pretty dry. The mouthpiece is comfortable. I also like the adjustability of the retaining clip. I would certainly recommend this snorkel to anyone on the market for one.

Reviewer: Todd V.,
The Sherwood Absolute Dry Snorkel performed as stated and I experienced no problems while using it. For the occasional user/"non-professional" this item is definitely a good value for the price. Becauise of the good performance and price we will be purchasing another one for my wife.

Rating: Sherwood Absolute Dry Snorkel
Reviewer: Sharon T., - View all my reviews
Keeps water out like advertised, 2-3" sliding adjustment that locks to keep it in correct position & doesnt spin around like my old snorkel. Its a little longer than Im used to, but not a problem. A little difficult to attach to my mask, but I guess that means it wont fall off during a dive (or when taking my gear off) which is how I lost my old one.

I had some old scuba equipment that my wife and kid were using in Florida where we live. I did not know about the dry snorkels but it is worth every penny. No more water in our mouths. The Sherwood was a little cheaper than others but worked very well. Good recommendation from people at Scuba.com

Rating: Absolute & Perfect
Reviewer: Cory Graner, - View all my reviews
I recently bought two of these for my wife and I at the recomendation of "Bob," one of the salesman there who was an excellent help. We took them on our trip to Cozumel, and while not diving enjoyed snorkeling off of the beaches. They worked flawlessly. We were able to dive down and not have to clear the snorkel one bit. And when waves large enough to clear the top of the snorkel hit, you temporarily unable to draw air, and definitely not water, then continue breathing as normal. Excellent!

Rating: Awesome Snorkel
Reviewer: Sherry S., - View all my reviews
Absolutely Dry is exactly what it means. THis snorkel does have a little bit large volume. Takes 2 breaths to clear it completely but once clear, never leaks and if you accidently submerge, it does not leak and you know because you can draw no air...back on the surface, it opens right up. This is a great snorkel in my opinion.

Rating: worked great until it fell apart the 5th time it was used
Reviewer: Susan Traas, - View all my reviews
We purchased 2 Absolute dry snorkels and they truly are outstanding. We found that they met our needs for snorkeling and divng! Unfortunately the yellow snorkel lost the piece that covers the valve at the top of the snorkel durning my last dive. We are not sure what occurred but I am confident that it was a fluke. The other absolute dry snorkel continues to opperate excellently. We highly recommend this snorkel

Rating: Very Dry
Reviewer: Pete H.,
Ive never had more than a sip of water enter at any time. If any water does enter you can easily clear it by reaching up and closing the top valve while gently exhaling. Much better than any of the other dry snorkels Ive tried.

Rating: Little float thingie
Reviewer: Jesse N., - View all my reviews
The little float thingie at the top of the snorkle, seems to have a slow reaction time. When snorkling, as I dive down a small amount of water SOMETIMES gets in the snorkle. Not to say its not a supereb product, it is much better than any snorkle Ive used previously.

Reviewer: Kent Sandman,
The sherwood snorkel is made for the person concerned about water getting into the mouth,m and going down the wrong "pipe". I t takes all the fear away, so that you can enjoy the water, ever when going a little deeper than you expected.
