Excellent snorkel!

I?ve owned this snorkel for 9 years so far. Best one I?ve ever owned. We live in the tropics, so it?s used A LOT. But having a replaceable mouthpiece means I?ll have it for many many more years.

Happy Diver

Great to use! My only issue was figuring out how to thread the mask strap through the snorkel hole since it's a bit of a funky shape. After 20 minutes of messing with it, I figured it out. AquaLung or Leisure Pro should make a video on how to do this! I couldn't find anything else online.

Good I enjoy it and I'm not breathing or swallowing water when I used it. It's great for diving and it holds on my mask.

Best snorkel

Love these snorkels, I've used them for work on snorkel tours in the past and had to get my own personal one. Shipping was fast snorkel works great only minor issue was the snorkel keeper was a little torn and will probably rip even more over time.

Great Snorkel; Clears Easily

This is the first decent snorkel I've owned, so it's naturally a great find. It clears very easily with zero gurgling of residual water.

Totally dry and comfortable to wear!

I purchased this snorkel for my vacation. This is by far the best snorkel I have ever used. Even in choppy water this snorkel never had a problem draining and I never once got a mouthful of salt water when using it. It breathes easy and has multiple valves to eject water in the rare chance that something gets inside. I would highly recommend this to anyone for snorkeling or scuba diving. I could not have been more pleased. This is an excellent buy!

Aqua lung impulse 3

Used it on recent trip and it work perfectly. Easy to breathe with with the wider tube and didn’t have any issues with water in it. Purging was a Bree compared to my old snorkel. Was a little heavier but wasn’t an issue.

Great snorkel

I had my previous one (Impulse 1) for over 5 years, used it a lot, lost it. This is just as good, possibly a bit better. Very large tube means plenty of air even when kickinghard.

Great for Snorkeling

Excellent Snorkel! Very easy to clear water out of. However, when diving the snorkel is fairly heavy and bulky hanging off the side of the mask. So when I scuba dive I prefer not to take this one.

Dryest snorkle ever; wish it were a bit smaller.

I often dive in rough seas with lots of wind chop. Most snorkles just don't cut it. This one stays dry. The only downside is that it is too big. Aqualung's previous design worked equally well without the bulk, but they "improved" it. This one creates a bit of drag, and in the kelp, can snag and annoy. But for rough conditions, it's the only one I have found that performs.

Prone to flooding, but easy to purge

I found that this snorkel breathes pretty wet and floods easily during surface swims to dive sites. Fortunately, there's a large reservoir and purge valve to expel the water, and the large bore does make it easy to breathe when it is dry. The snorkel keeper clip is a little hard to attach and detach from the mask, but works well to keep the snorkel in place instead of flopping around like I've had with some other large snorkels.

Best Snorkel, Easy to Use

This snorkel is awesome!!! It keeps water out if you are snorkeling near the surface of the water. When diving under water with it, it is so easy to clear with simple breath of air. Truly one of the best snorkels I have used. I bought two in order to have a back up, but I am going to order another one, maybe even two more. I really love this snorkel and got a great price from Leisure Pro.

Very good snorkel

I replaced my old snorkel with the Impulse 3 Flex and the first time I used it (I am a rescue swimmer), I thought something was wrong. I could breathe so much easier and I had no water enter either. As a result, I bought 2 more for my other masks. I have used this snorkel in all types of conditions, from calm lakes to 6-8 feet of surf, and it has been a winner in all of it. Highly recommended.

Great Snorkel!

This is by far the best snorkel I have ever used. Easy to clear when I dive down to get a closer look while snorkeling, though I have never used the old fashion, stiff ones without a purge. Maybe if someone was used to that type it may not be what they want? For me and my husband though - it's AMAZING!!!

Best. Snorkel. Ever..

I've owned dozens, and have used over a hundred. I had a US DIVER snorkel for 30 years. This one replaces that one, and is better.

awesome product

By JAMES J.

I started out with aqualung's total dry snorkel and switched to this after one season diving for abalone. What a difference having a good snorkel makes. With the total dry on calm days it was o.k. but as soon as it got choppy the valve was closing too often and interrupting my breathing. With the impulse 3 I never have this problem and the dry top diverts all water from going down into my mouth unless the snorkel is completely submerged by a wave for a couple seconds. I got the rigid pipe mod...

All around perfection

By Bren

If your were to buy this product in a dive shop without any kind of discount it would be a little steep, but the price on here is totally worth it's value. I have tried countless snorkels and between snorkeling and diving have gone through several snorkels to find one that is at least semi-good. Super easy to purge, great overall design, never gets water in waves, and really easy to breathe. I would get this snorkel again in a heartbeat.

The Impulse 3 is more streamlined and higher performing than its predecessors, the Impulse and Impulse 2. Since its introduction in 1989, the Impulse Snorkels have been the bestselling snorkels in the world. The Impulse snorkels feature a patented design, with a patented upper valve, a two-drain system and Aqua Lung's patented Comfo-Bite mouthpiece. The Impulse comes in Flex and Non-Flex versions. The Impulse 3 uses a two-valve system. If a wave breaks over the snorkel, the patented, upper, annular valve directs most of the water out before it even reaches the mouthpiece. Any water that does get past the annular valve drains out the lower valve. The reservoir located below the mouthpiece keeps breathing path clear of excess water. In the rare event that you need to clear the Impulse 3 Snorkel, almost no breath is needed, all it takes is an easy puff. Patented Comfo-bite mouthpieces, which does not require the user to clench their teeth, eliminate jaw fatigue. An optional, smaller size Comfo-bite is available. Comfo-bite mouthpieces are replaceable. The flex model allows the lower unit to drop away for use with a regulator Also available in a non-flex, standard version.
