Cressi Supernova Dry, Black/Black

I recently took the plunge and bought the Cressi Adult Diving Dry Snorkel with Splash Guard and Top Valve, affectionately dubbed the Supernova Dry. First off, let me just say that this snorkel has the aesthetic charm of a sleek Italian sports car—if that car were designed to help you breathe underwater while looking like a complete goofball.The first time I tried it out, I felt like a majestic dolphin. I mean, who wouldn’t want to channel their inner aquatic creature? The splash guard does an admirable job of keeping water out, which is great unless you decide to dive into the middle of a wave. Then it’s like your snorkel has just given up on you, saying, “Good luck with that, buddy!” But hey, I came prepared with some impressive snorting sounds when I inevitably inhaled a mouthful of seawater.The top valve is a game-changer; it’s like a bouncer for your snorkel, only letting in the good stuff (read: air). I was ready to take on the underwater world until I realized that my inability to equalize my ears was a bigger issue than I’d anticipated. There I was, floating like a potato with a snorkel, wondering if I should’ve just invested in a bubble wand instead.Comfort-wise, the mouthpiece feels like a cozy little pillow for your teeth, which is crucial if you plan to spend hours trying to identify fish and not just your own reflection. Speaking of which, I did find myself practicing my best “I’m definitely not panicking” face in the mirror before heading out. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out well.In summary, the Cressi Supernova Dry snorkel is a fantastic way to explore the underwater world—unless you’re me, in which case it’s a hilarious adventure filled with awkward moments, questionable breathing techniques, and the occasional fish that probably questioned my life choices. If you’re looking for a snorkel that works and makes you look like a swimming superstar (or at least a really enthusiastic seal), this is the one for you. Just remember to bring a sense of humor along with your flippers!

I am so happy with this purchase. Great quality. The best I ever had in 30 years snorkeling.

The Cressi Dry Snorkel is a game changer! The flexible body makes it significantly more comfortable than traditional solid snorkels, allowing for a more natural and relaxed fit while you're in the water. One of the standout features is the dry attachment at the top – it keeps every single drop of water out, ensuring that you can snorkel without worrying about leaks. Unlike other designs that can sometimes get stuck closed, this snorkel works smoothly every time, allowing for effortless breathing.

It's a snorkel, works as it should. We dive and snorkel every couple of months and thus far it's been fine. Seems durable enough, no leaks between mouthpiece and tube, I expect in 5 years I'll be replacing it, but that's what I expect for a snorkel's lifetime.

The material is very good, soft silicone.The edges of the mouthpiece could be a little smoother, this is nitpicking but your tongue and gums are very aware of the edges.From a functionality standpoint I don’t know if some of the other reviewers ever got in the ocean or if they were just tinkering in a swimming pool but I got several mouthfuls of saltwater when using as intended in the ocean.I think it has something to do with the gills not having a guard from splashing, in other words if you go down into the water the float will cut off the water but if you get splashed from a small wave plenty of water gets into tne gills and into your mouth because it wasn’t enough water to float the float.Overall very good, especially for the price…I just need to keep it real and not set false expectations.

Excellent snorkel. Works well.

Excelente, me gusto mucho su calidad, se puede respirar muy bien mientras haces snorkel y en caso te sumergas mas el sistema que tiene hace que el ingreso de agua se bloquee lo que ayuda a que evite que tragues agua por accidente.
