What to Look for in a
Snorkel? |
|
The
snorkel is still the best low cost safety device. It allows a
diver to rest, observe, and travel upon the surface the greatest
distance with the least energy expenditure. |
|
Dry
Snorkel |
| The
snorkel top "shuts off" when submerged and automatically
"opens up" when you surface. It is a fail safe and time
tested device that allows a snorkeler or diver the
benefit from never having to clear a snorkel of water
when it is in use. This snorkel is guaranteed to be 100%
dry |
|
Semi Dry Snorkel
|
| At the top of the snorkel, many manufacturers
offer a "deflector" type device that discourages water
from entering the snorkel. |
|
Purge Snorkel |
| These snorkels allow ease of clearing the snorkel
of water. There is a one way valve at the bottom of the
snorkel, so less air is used to clear it. |
