Snorkels

Snorkel Gear: Breathing Made Easy Underwater

Since we don't have gills yet, humans have developed innovative ways to breathe underwater. Snorkels are one of the simplest yet most effective inventions for this purpose.

Types of Snorkels

Dry Snorkels: The latest in snorkeling technology, dry snorkels feature a patented self-regulating valve that differentiates between air and water. This valve "shuts off" the snorkel top when submerged and "opens up" when you surface, preventing water from entering.

Semi-Dry Snorkels: Semi-dry snorkels come with a splash guard at the top, keeping out most water but not completely blocking the air source. This design allows for consistent breathing and greater flexibility, especially on wavy days.

Purge Snorkels: These snorkels have a completely open top and a purge valve at the bottom, making it easier to clear water from the tube.

Snorkel Gear for Different Needs

• Kids' Snorkels: Designed with a smaller overall length and mouthpiece, these snorkels are perfect for younger users, making them easier to handle.
• Freediving and Spearfishing Snorkels: These snorkels feature a shape that follows the profile of the diver's face, reducing drag and optimizing airflow. The silicone mouthpiece and air tube are specifically designed for freediving and spearfishing, staying out of the way, and enhancing performance.

Whether you are snorkeling, freediving, or spearfishing, there's a snorkel designed to meet your needs, ensuring you can breathe comfortably and enjoy your underwater adventures.
