Dry-Top Snorkels
A dry-top snorkel, like the TUSA Hyperdry Elite 2 or the Scubapro Fusion Dry, is a must-have for any ambitious snorkeler who enjoys diving a few meters underwater during a snorkeling tour. The valve at the top of a dry-top snorkel closes under pressure, instantly sealing the snorkel tube when diving down. Upon reaching the surface, there’s no need to blow out the snorkel, as the snorkel tube is already clear. A dry-top snorkel is an excellent addition for any snorkeler who wants to explore beneath the water’s surface and values conserving every bit of air instead of using it to clear the snorkel.
Snorkels with Purge Valve
A purge valve is now an essential feature in high-quality snorkels. A purge valve isn’t just a comfort feature; it’s also a matter of safety, allowing even a tired, out-of-breath snorkeler to clear the snorkel reliably and easily. Most snorkels in our online dive shop now come with a purge valve, like the Scubapro Fusion Pro, Aqualung Air Silicone valve snorkel, Scubapro Spectra Dry snorkel, and many others. With a purge valve, water in the snorkel tube is no longer forcefully blown out from the top end but is instead gently expelled through the one-way valve below the mouthpiece. A snorkel with a purge valve is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys extended snorkeling sessions, where energy needs to be managed wisely, for those who might not have top athletic conditioning, or for anyone looking for a comfortable snorkeling experience with smart energy use. A purge valve is especially useful for children’s snorkels, like the Scubapro children’s snorkel, available in our online dive shop.
For even greater comfort and functionality, our snorkels with valves offer additional practical features, such as a flexible tube to reduce jaw and neck strain, a replaceable mouthpiece, a practical clip to attach the snorkel securely to the mask, or an adjustable splash guard for snorkels without a dry valve.
For divers who prefer not to have a snorkel attached to their mask but still want to bring one along, we offer the innovative foldable Pocket Snorkel, a flexible snorkel with a purge valve that can be folded and stored in the jacket pocket. Whether you’re looking for a dry-top snorkel, a snorkel with a purge valve, a Scubapro snorkel, a Mares snorkel, or a TUSA snorkel, you’ll find the perfect snorkel in our online dive shop, along with suitable accessories such as mouthpieces, snorkel clips, and more. High-quality snorkel masks and fins are also available in our online dive shop.
