Snorkels allow you to peer beneath the ocean's surface without having to come up
to take a breath, saving you time and energy.
Today's snorkels come in the following styles:
Purge Snorkel - These snorkels allow ease of clearing the snorkel of water. There is
a one way valve at the bottom of the snorkel, so less air is used to clear it.
Semi Dry Snorkel - At the top of the snorkel, many manufacturers offer a
"deflector" type device that discourages water from entering the snorkel.
Dry Snorkel - There is only one 100% dry snorkel on the market, the Oceanic Ultra-Dry Snorkel.
It has a patented self regulating valve that senses the difference in weight between air and water, so the
snorkel top "shuts off" when submerged and automatically "opens up" when you surface. It is a fail safe and
time tested device that allows a snorkeler or diver the benefit from never having to clear a snorkel of water
when it is in use. This snorkel is guaranteed to be 100% dry
