Rating: Amazing Snorkel
Reviewer: Jason D., Monday, May 17, 2010
I got a couple of these mini snorkels for my kids and they are perfect. I have no more worries about my kids accidentally getting choked. I have the larger size for my wife and myself and they work perfect too. You cant even get water in these things even if you try.

Rating: I think it works!
Reviewer: Julie N., Sunday, October 12, 2008 - View all my reviews
just got back from my first trip snorkeling with this product. overall i would say it works. i wasnt really in an environment where i needed the "dry" feature - and im too much of a chicken to try going under totally under water - so i didnt really get to check it out. the only problems that i had were 1) im small (95 lbs) with a tiny mouth (my dentist always uses the kid size trays, x-rays, etc) but i didnt feel like there was enough of a mouth piece to grab onto - so i would consider the standard size 2) i had a hard time latching my mask into the fitting on side so there was one time that i was snorkeling and it fell sideways - i can tell you that it wont stay "dry" if it does this (wouldt expect it to!)!

The dry snorkel lives up to its name. It works great! It is easy to clear and has a comfortable mouth piece. Bright yellow color makes it easy to spot in the water when its choppy.

Rating: Oceanic snorkel
Reviewer: Fran C., Monday, July 21, 2008 - View all my reviews
Two weeks snorkeling in Hawaii and this snorkel was great!! As a novice snorkeler (when we arrived) I easily transitioned to a more daring and bold adventurer during our trip, with the knowledge that my snorkel would not allow those pesky ocean waves to swamp my snorkel. From the north shore of Oahu to all of the West beaches of Maui, snorkeling during an ocean kayaking trip (where we swam with the sea turtles!) the crater at Molikini.... my snorkel stayed dry. I had the confidence to venture further than ever before, leaving the crowds behind. My husband is an experienced (ex-Navy) diver and he was a little surprised at how daring I had become with my new best friend. I gained so much confidence being in the ocean, I actually went on a snuba trip at Molikini!! (where the tanks stay on top of the water... ) This snorkel made a huge difference for me and my ability to enjoy being in the water, getting up close and personal with the sea life. It is absolutely worth the extra few dollars for hours of confidence while snorkeling.

Rating: Good enough for my child!
Reviewer: Donnie L., Friday, July 27, 2007 - View all my reviews
i bought this for my daughter to teach her how to snorkel and i tryed it out to make sure it would work. i did not get so much as a of water in this snorkel. i would recommend it to any parent. the other thing i liked about this is that if she outgrows the small mouthpiece i can buy her an adult mouthpiece instead of buying a new snorkel.

Rating: What size I recommend
Reviewer: michelle m., Thursday, June 07, 2007 - View all my reviews
I weigh just over 110lbs and have a small face and small mouth, so I ordered the mini mouth piece. After trying both the mini and the regular Ultra Dry, the regular actually fits me better, so I would recommend the mini just for children, and not petite adults. (Otherwise, it is the best snorkel ever - 5 stars!)

Rating: Not waterproof but nice anyway
Reviewer: Julia Johnson, Saturday, May 26, 2007 - View all my reviews
Unlike the ad, water DOES get into these snorkels - many times in the kind of light waves in Maui - 8 to 12 inch waves. They are however easy to clear and do prevent major swallowing of water that old style snorkels would allow. Not a bad buy for that reason alone. Saved me a couple of times when I had equipment problems and looked down into the water while trying to breath reflexively. Other dry snorkels appear to offer the same benefits so Im not convinced the higher price of this snorkel is worth it if the others prevent snorkels from flooding as well. If you do buy this I doubt you will ever find a way to flood the snorkel which I think is absolutely necessary not only to prevent a bad experience but for safety as well.
