Find a Huge Selection of Snorkeling Gear and Snorkeling Equipment at Divers Direct
Snorkeling equipment enables you to surface swim and breathe when you want to enjoy beautiful coral reefs and other interesting marine life. Whether you will use it with your dive gear or as part as your snorkel gear set; a good snorkel is always necessary. There are 3 main types of snorkels: Dry Snorkels, Semi-Dry Snorkels, and Purge Snorkels. Some of these snorkels are available in bundle snorkeling sets.
The latest in snorkeling equipment 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 snorkeling gear includes the semi dry snorkels which have a splash guard at the top. While semi-dry snorkels keeps out a majority of water, unlike the dry snorkels it does not block your air source completely. This allows for even breathing and more flexibility on wavy days.
Purge snorkels have a completely open top but have a purge valve at the bottom for easier clearing.
Snorkeling gear also varies in size and style to accommodate kids and also extreme watersports such as freediving and spearfishing. There are kid's snorkels with a smaller overall length and smaller mouthpiece. This allows for easier use. Other specially designed snorkeling gear includes spearfishing or freediving snorkels. The shapes of silicone mouthpiece and the air tube on this specially designed gear 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 equipment 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 snorkel gear also offer adjustments that enable it to be attached to the mask securely. Those that slid, lock and swivel make the attachment and adjustment process far easier.
