A snorkel is a simple tool, but its quality decides how comfortably you’ll breathe on the surface between dives. A bad snorkel can ruin your whole day on the water.
Tube diameter affects breathing resistance. Too narrow tube makes breathing harder, too wide increases dead space and worsens air exchange. Length must be reasonable – long snorkel is harder to breathe through, short one easily gets underwater.
Mouthpiece must be comfortable and seal well. Silicone is the best material – it’s soft, flexible and lasts long. Hard mouthpieces quickly tire your jaws and can cause blisters.
Simple straight snorkel is often the best choice for freediving. Complex valves and systems can fail just when you need them. Flexible joint between tube and mouthpiece increases wearing comfort.
A quality snorkel will last you years and become an indispensable part of your gear.
