Aegend Diving Dry Snorkel for Adult Youth with Purge Valve, Flexible Tube

Great snorkel, just get it. Had zero issues with it and dove down to the coral several times with no water finding it's way inside. Seriously nothing negative to say.

I picked this up because I wanted a dry snorkel that would reduce the constant annoyance of getting surprise mouthfuls of saltwater every time a wave rolled through, and this one has performed better than I expected. The dry-top valve does a good job preventing water intrusion when surface snorkeling. It isn’t magic and technique still matters, but compared to older open snorkels I’ve used, this made snorkeling noticeably more comfortable and let me spend more time looking around and less time clearing water. Breathing feels natural with good airflow, and the tube diameter seems well balanced. I didn’t notice excessive resistance while swimming at a relaxed pace. The mouthpiece is also comfortable enough for longer sessions and didn’t leave my jaw feeling tired. It’s a little rough on the gums but I don’t expect that will be an issue when it has been broken in. One feature I appreciated was how quickly the snorkel cleared after submersion. Any small amount of water that did get in was easy to purge without needing a lung full of air. Just a light exhale does the trick. Build quality also seems solid for the price. The attachment points feel secure, and the snorkel stayed in place well during use. It packs easily and doesn’t take up much room in a gear bag. I was surprised a the price for the quality. There are professional snorkels here for 8x as much and I can’t explain why this isn’t any better or worse than any of those. At the end of the day it’s a tube that allows you to breathe just under the water’s surface. And this one does that as expected. Save your money and use it on drinks at the bar after you get out of the water.

Works very well, automatically closes when in water and opens when out of water! Passed the jump test, no leaks
