man, this is truly a dry snorkel. we were on vacation for two weeks on the big island of hawaii and snorkeled every day of those two weeks. we were snorkeling off the beach and from dive boats. all kind of conditions ranging from smooth to good chop. not a of water came into the snorkel. good job of designing and engineering a great product.
i highly recommen this snorkel for your dive bag.

Reviewer: Steve Hammitt,
This snorkel performs perfectly . You go under when snorkeling and it blocks the water instantly . When you rise , air is there.
If water sneeks in somehow from your mouth , a quick puff(no major air clearing) and it is gone right out the bottom one way disharge vent/port.
My son is 4 and he had so much trouble with with $8 snorlels . He is a pro now and goes up and down like popcorn and butter blended togeter . The extra cost for me and my little guy was with every dime spent for incrediable diving/snorkeling.
Buy one , you will love it

I love this snorkel! I am a beginner, and had one incident where I had not blown all of the water out the day before. When I went in the water the next day I could hear this gurgling sound and then some water came in as I inhaled. I got scared, but after blowing the water out good I couldnt hear the gurgling anymore and it was dry from then on. I was snorkeling off Kauai, so the waves would come over the snorkel end quite a bit. I had no problems after I figured out the gurgling warning and blew it out each day.

Rating: the snorkel which seems hard to use...?
Reviewer: Rev Randall W Ackley, - View all my reviews
i bought this snorkel as a replacement for an old one. i find two things, the mouthpiece with its hose does not fit to the front of my mouth, but the length of the hose pushes it off to the left side, with the snorkel on the right. also, the snorkel does not get out of the water unless head erect or turned toward the snorkel. good materials, i continue to use it, doing laps. i had surgery on my neck and doctor said no more swimming i asked if ok if i used a snorkel. he said yes. so, i use a snorkel to swim laps.

Rating: Fantastic!
Reviewer: vince robinson,
Im new to snorkeling so I have only used a few different snorkels. This one was awesome. It really works just like it says. Water doesnt get in at all when you go under water. I would highly encourage anybody to go with this one.

Rating: Oceanic UltraDry Snorkel Takes Cake
Reviewer: David Schrichte, - View all my reviews
Naturally skeptical, I thought the claim of a truly dry snorkel was on parallel with a free trip to Fantasy Island. I am, however, pleased to report that after testing the Oceanic Ultra Dry Snorkel in both calm and rough seas, it more than lived up to its claim. It was fantastic to free dive down and not come up with a snorkel full of salt water. I often end up with severe cotton mouth after spending a day clearing saltwater from my snorkel. I rest assured that those days will be few and far between with this excellently designed snorkel.

this is the first snorkel i have owned. i used it all through my open water certification. i used it to free dive a little and i didnt get a of water in it. if you dive deep enough with this snorkel in your mouth you will have to equalize it like your mask. my only complaint is that the mouth piece is so flexible and hangs just low enough that while you are diving when you grab for your low pressure inflator you will be grabbing your snorkel.

Rating: High Quality, Works Very Well - Completely Dry!
Reviewer: Kevin K., - View all my reviews
My wife uses this Oceanic snorkel and it is definitely superior to my Tusa completely dry snorkel. The floats on the flapper valve do not accidentally close the valve if she leans her head or takes a deep breath, as my Tusa will do. When you do get water into the snorkel through the mouthpiece when getting into the water, it is very easily expelled or simply drains out of the purge valve at the bottom.
I like this snorkel so much Im going to replace my Tusa with this model, since the Tusa will occasionally close with a deep breath and STAY shut. Neither my wife nor I have ever had this happen with the Oceanic.

Rating: just ok snorkel
Reviewer: Elizabeth A., - View all my reviews
I just back from snorkeling and diving with this snorkel.
Maybe it is Im used to the other kinds and this is the first time Ive used this type. Im giving it a 3 star because sometimes it did not open when I came back up on surface from free diving, not a good feeling.

Hello Evan, there is a flapper valve at the top of the snorkel tube. When water pressure come in contact with the top of the snorkel shuts the valve so no water travels down the tube.

I want to order a mask and snorkel for my trip (will use fins provided on the trip). Is there anything besides a mask and snorkel that I should buy? Also, how do I know whether a mask will fit. Is there a store in the Houston area that I can visit?
Greg (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Our retail store is located in Southern California. All of our mask sizes are listed on the website for your convenience. Usually a wetsuit is desirable
Gary:
will the snorkel retainer included with the oceanic ultra dry snorkel be adequate when using this snorkel with swim goggles

dan:
how long can you stay submerged with this snorkel before surfacing.
Greg (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
How long can you hold your breath? That is the limiting factor.
C.J.:
Whats the difference/advantage of the Oceanic Ultra Dry silicon over the regular Ultra Dry. Arent they both silicon?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
I believe what you are seeing is the BLACK silicone and the normal snorkel. Which is also the difference.
