CRESSIFoldable Adult Dry Snorkel for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling - Alpha Ultra Dry Made in Italy

I ordered two just t make sure I had a working one before my trip and I'm glad I did. One leaked at the float stop at the top and the float liked to stick closed. The second was perfect! So amazing how well it works! I could scuba dive 60', surface and switch back to snorkel to find it was still water free and ready to go! Big waves? No problem! It'd close and open on it's own while keeping the water out. I even used it to avoid covid on the dive boats figuring I'd be sucking air above everyones breath Make sure you test that the float moves freely and that it seals when the float valve is closed. Otherwise ignore the molding issues on the silicone where the tube bends because those ridges are just for flexibility so it's purely cosmetic unless there was a gap so large you can suck air through somehow.

I can't speak highly enough about this snorkel. As a new diver (just recently OW SCUBA certified), I think my opinion on this snorkel is particularly valid BECAUSE of the fact that when it comes to gear and one brand over the other, I have no idea who's better than the other or why. Nor do I have dive-backed experience to put all my chips behind any one or the other. What I, and other new divers like myself typically are looking at for initial criteria is price point and performance/reviews. So for this particular piece of gear, it nails both. I used it for my OW certification recently and never once after each dive (up to 30 ft.) did I surface only to have to find myself blow-holing a ton of water out of my snorkel. Did a little bit of water get in? Of course - it's not AIRTIGHT, but only having a small bit to push out instead of 1/4lb of liquid before you can take a clean breath, makes a hell of a difference and gives the diver that much more confidence in the water. And, at an extremely reasonable price-point, I'd say that's a solid addition to your dive equipment.I would 100% recommend this product to anyone interested in the sport, amateur or professional.

Works like a dream and the color is great!

Great quality. Great product. Would recommend.

Had a US Diver snorkel that worked pretty well, but I lost it in rough sea condition at DryTortugas. I was looking for a good brand to replace it. Very pleased with the design and features like the quick remove clip. It allowed me to securely clip onto my mask strap. Snorkeled again in rough water in Antigua and it performed as expected. I got a Cressi mask as well, and the combo made the swim more enjoyable. Every brand has their good and bad, so far I’m happy with Cressi. Now I’m look for good fins for next year’s trip. Any suggestions?

I wanted to like it so bad, but I just can't. All of my other dry snorkels the end where air comes in is just as big as the tube itself. Not on this snorkel if you look down the end of it it sort of looks like a snake's trachea. It's a very very small breathing hole in relation to the diameter of the tube. It is advertised as being a foldable snorkel. I will admit you can bend to the thing in half. I really don't have confidence that you'll be able to do it very many times without it breaking. It's very stiff and the Cressi lettering appears to be delaminating because of it. Of any snorkel or regulator that I've ever had in my life this has by far the most uncomfortable mouthpiece. It's very rough and rigid it's not very pliable at all. I do understand that that's a very easy thing to change out and it's not very expensive but for the cost of this snorkel it should come with a comfortable mouthpiece right off the bat. I use a Mares ergo dry snorkel and I honestly do not consider it a quality made snorkel, but it is far better than this one. My son uses a cheaper Cressi dry snorkel and it is much more comfortable and easy to breathe with than this. Needless to say I'm sending it back. I was really really hoping for a good quality foldable dry snorkel. I guess nobody actually makes one.

Picked up for my trip to Belize, 3 days of snorkeling along reefs. along with cressi goggles preformed as expected. I could dive below the surface with zero water entering snorkel. Then when your about to resurface, simply start exhaling, opening the valve, didn't have salt water in my mouth once!. Spent more on goggles and snorkel, bought cheap fins. Worked perfect!

Not all dry snorkels are this easy to inhale. Very comfortable. I've been through dozens and this is my favorite.
