Snorkel Equipment and Snorkeling Equipments at Divers Direct

Snorkel equipment enables you to surface swim and breathe when you want to enjoy beautiful coral reefs and other interesting marine life. There are 3 main types of snorkels: Dry Snorkels, Semi-Dry Snorkels, and Purge Snorkels. Some of these snorkels are available in a snorkel set.

The latest in snorkel technology is the dry snorkels. Dry snorkels have a patented self regulating valve that senses the difference in weight between air and water. The snorkel top "shuts off" when submerged and automatically "opens up" when you surface.

Semi Dry Snorkels have a splash guard at the top. While semi-dry snorkels keeps out a majority of water, it does not block your air source completely. This allows for even breathing.

Purge snorkels have a completely open top but have a purge valve at the bottom for easier clearing.

Snorkeling equipment also varies to accommodate kids and also extreme watersports such as freediving and spearfishing. There are kids snorkels with a smaller overall length and smaller mouthpiece. This allows for easier use. Other specially designed snorkel equipment includes spearfishing or freediving snorkels. The shapes of silicone mouthpiece and the air tube have been designed to follow the profile of the divers face. The internal diameter of the tube is large enough to optimize the air flow rate. Freediving snorkels stay out of the way and reduce drag.

Most snorkeling gear is made with plastic and silicone to increase durability. A removable mouthpiece is a nice option since it allows you to change the mouthpiece to fit your needs or when it becomes worn. Most snorkels also offer adjustments that enable it to be attached to the mask securely. Those that slid, loc and swivel make the attachment and adjustment process far easier.
