Reviewer: Lloyd Eckhart,
Bought two of these for the grandkids, ages 5 and 7, for our trip to Grand Cayman. They worked great. Both kids snorkeled like champs and loved all the fish. Snorkels let them go under without flooding the tube. That makes a big difference with kids. Highly recommend.

Rating: Worked great- just explain how it works to your kids
Reviewer: Laura H.,
We just got back from Aruba and went snorkeling five times. I took the kids equipment with us since I was worried that the rental places wouldnt have masks to fit their small faces, and didnt want to turn them off of snorkeling due to leakage. These snorkels worked like a charm once I explained how the snorkel was designed to not let water in. They expected to get water in when they went underwater and thought the snorkels didnt work until I explained it to them. I also liked the mouthpiece- it wasnt too big for them. My boys are 6 and 9.
Hope thats helpful!

My kids (ages 4 and 6) loved it and learned how to use it in 5 minutes in our pool. They had a blast in Hawaii. Highly recommend this product.

Great product, I needed a snorkel for my 5 year old that he could grow with yet simple to use and this is it! If you get water in the snorkel it ca be easily blown out while you are swimming, my son loves it!

Rating: Great Snorkel
Reviewer: Keith Kowalski,
Great snorkel for kids. Purchased for my six and eight year olds and never got any complaints about water entry. The mouth piece was perfectly sized for kids and I would definitely reccomend this product.

Rating: 8 year old LOVED this SNORKEL
Reviewer: Lynne M., - View all my reviews
These dry snorkels really are great for kids and adults as well. My daughter tried using a regular snorkel when she was 6 and again at 7 and just had a hard time remembering to save some air to blow the water out of it after surfacing. This dry snorkel really allows children to go under the water and coming up effortlessly to get another breath. We bought one for our daughter last year, but wanted another one to match her mask with purge that we bought this year. All of Scuba.coms products are great and their customer service is exceptional!

Rating: Best Childs Snorkle Around
Reviewer: Heather I.,
Wow! We took a novice ten year old snorkeling and what a great time he had. He went underwater to check out all the fish around and not once did he swallow any water. It was comfortable for him to wear and he had no problem using it. Its hard to find a snorkle for a child that has a purge and does not fill up with water, but this is the one!

Good design but after a few days of use with my 5 year old, the small clear plastic piece designed to keep the water from coming through the top separated. I was able to fix it but this could be a major problem down the road.
I would look at buying a different snorkel in the future.

My kids 5 and 8 loved it! My 5 yr old tried to "breath" under water scuba style with it and complined that she couldnt get any air at 8ft down. Even thru that she never complaied about any water - It stayed dry!

MY FIVE YEAR OLD GRANDSON LEARNED TO SNORKEL THE FIRST DAY HE USED IT.
Questions and Answers for XS Scuba Goby Dry Kids Snorkel:
chris:
Hi, does this snorkel fit onto any mask? Or can we purchase it as a set with a matching mask as a set? Can you recommend a snug and comfortable mask that seals well for kids?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Just about any snorkel will work perfectly with any mask. The XS Scuba Fusion Jr. would be a good choice for kids masks.
Lucas:
can you breath with the snorkle under water.
Clarke (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Lucas, Thank you for your inquiry! If you are completely submerged under the water, you cannot breath with a snorkel. A snorkel allows you to keep your face down in the water so you can continue breathing without have to lift your face out of the water for a breath. Remember, you must keep your mouth securely closed around the mouthpiece to prevent water from entering. If you have other questions, need help or would like to place an order, please contact SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: info@scuba.com

This says for kids but roughly what age kids? I am looking for something for my boys ages 6 and 8 to use. Thanks
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)

This would be the appropriate item for the average sized child that age.
