| Oceanic Ultra Dry Snorkel Reviews 
Reviewer: Eric R. on 6/9/2012
No more saltwater taste - i recently bought oceanic ultra dry snorkels for my wife and myself. just gave them their first test on a trip to the caribbean, and loved them. i must say i was skepticalthe claims seemed almost too unbelievable. we have always used higher quality equipment (the worst harm to the sport of snorkeling is done by giving novice swimmers a simple j-tube, welcoming a mouthful of sea, and hearing them swear off the reefs forever!), so i wasnt expecting a vast improvement. but the unique valve certainly did make a great difference. after submerging and re-surfacing your first action can actually be inhalation! i found myself still blowing to purge the snorkel- out of habit, but didnt even need to!...

| Oceanic Ultra Dry Mini Snorkel Reviews 
Reviewer: Julia Johnson on 5/26/2007
Not waterproof but nice anyway - 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... View Full Review

| Genesis Surf Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Billy Stewart on 7/7/2007
Nice!! - This a very nice snorkel. Just did a beach entry today. Had to wade across rocks. When we got to an area where it was deep enough, we swam on the surface another 100 yards through a moderate surge on snorkel to save air until the water was deep enough to actually dive. With the swell I kept expecting to get a mouth full of water... never happened. The shape of the top of the snorkel I think had a lot to do with that. I did get a little trickle once. A quick blow and it was gone. Purge valve in the bottom. Again... nice snorkel and worked well in less than ideal conditions.

| Oceanic Pocket Semi-Dry Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Robert L. on 1/27/2007
Bottom Line: "I would buy it again" - My son and I went to Roatan and dove with the standard snorkel hanging off of our heads all of the time. A friend recommended switching to a foldable snorkel and simply keeping it in a pocket on the BC. This model from Oceanic is well engineered and works like a charm. In advance you simply place a very small mating disk (similar to rebust velcro) to the strap of your mask (less than the size of a quarter) and when you want your snorkel on the surface BAM! you whip it out of its BC pocket and attach to your mask strap and you are in business. Super quick and ends the presence of a useless underwater snorkel.

| XS Scuba Goby Dry Kids Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Lynne M. on 8/20/2008
8 year old LOVED this SNORKEL - 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!

| XS Scuba Viper Semi-Dry Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Shannon Smith on 9/17/2006
Not as good as I had hoped. .. - this snorkel did not do well for me. i am a beginner diver and this particular snorkel kept falling over in the pool i was practicing in for class. my instructor had me swim laps up and down the pool to see if i was perhaps ducking my head the snorkel kept getting water in it. it was a bit top heavy. i only used it four times before the mask clasp broke. i am now looking for a new one per my instructors advice.

| H2O Snorkel Keeper Silicone Reviews
Reviewer: Brian G. on 8/13/2007
Works... - My girlfriend purchased one of these from our local dive shop after a passer-by stepped on her snorkel, causing the plastic snorkel clip to snap. Of course, there are no worries of rubber snorkel keepers snapping, but the tendency of sticking while sliding the snorkel through the tight openings makes it somewhat difficult for slight adjustments and quick separations. On the other hand, I entirely trust the silicone snorkel keeper to last for years. While I did purchase this one for my save-a-dive kit, my girlfriend purchased hers for under a dollar. There is no visual difference in quality.

| Sherwood Absolute Dry Snorkel Reviews
Reviewer: Renee G. on 9/30/2009
satisfied with product - 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!
