5.0 out of 5 stars Stays dry, June 5, 2009

This snorkel lives up to its "dry" title. I had waves washing over me repeatedly and no water came down the snorkel. The pivot valve at the top really works.

The upper valve allows you to close the top easily while swimming. Any water that might get in collects in the area below the mouthpiece. Closing the upper valve allows you to blow the trapped water out through the blow valve at the bottom.

The clip attaches securely to the left side of the mask's headband. Mouthpiece is comfortable. Mouthpiece and valves appear to be clear silicon rubber and should last many years.

I have a US Divers mask purchased ten years ago and stored in a very less-than-ideal hot attic. The flexible clear silicon still works fine. Excellent, durable material.

TRUE TRUE TRUE The person above was right. I tried this, and LOVE it. Doesn't matter if there's kids splashing, other swimmers in the next lane, you won't swallow water. Even tested it by going all the way under water. It does close off, and it's true about 1 Way valve. Awesome Awesome Awesome

1.0 out of 5 stars Great snorkel - until it falls off, repeatedly., March 27, 2011

While it lasted, this was a great snorkel. I never got a single drop of seawater through the snorkel. BUT....
It is very heavy (for a snorkel) especially at the top end so has a tendency to flop around. But most annoying of all is that my snorkel is somewhere at the bottom of Davy Jones' locker. Normally a snorkel has a plastic loop moulded into the tube through which your mask strap goes, therefore it is impossible for the snorkel to fall off. However, this one has a clip which very easily clips onto your mask strap. And just as easily unclips. And sinks. In an ideal world of swimming along, never raising your head out of the water, this is a perfect piece of kit. But as soon as you start to move your head, it fails completely. Just for the sake of a few millimetres of plastic. A real shame. If you DO want a great snorkel, go ahead and buy this model, just make sure you use a cable tie or something similar to fasten it to your mask!
