CRESSIAlpha Ultra Dry - Snorkel Ideal for Snorkelling, Apnea and Diving - Adult Unisex

Will last one or two seasons in sea water, without turning yellow, or hardening . Holds well to below 12 metres depth, but eventually, the purge membrane fails, when exposed to such pressures repeatedly, around 7.5metres seems to be the limit for prolonged exposure.

This is good and comfortable to wear … mouthpiece is replaceable and clear all water ingress with a good hard blow.

Excellent at keeping the water out of my snorkel and very comfortable in the mouth.I had bitten through my previous snorkel in just 6 weeks (user error sure) but this one has lasted me 6+ months so far and I love it!It also has a convenient clip to easily remove from mask for cleaning and drying.

Used this on a recent trip and it was such a great bit of kit — the dry top valve actually works (hallelujah!), which meant I wasn’t constantly choking on seawater every time a wave came along. Super comfy in the mouth, no rubbing or awkward angles, and it felt really well made. I didn’t think a snorkel could be something to rave about, but here we are! Definitely made the whole experience way more relaxing and fun — would 100% recommend for anyone who just wants to float about without faff.

Terrible bought this for my holiday, water is leaking into the bottom valve, return window closed

Works excellently, I found I could dive down a little and swim back to the surface to breathe immediately without even exhaling to force water out. Clips securely to my mask (Cressi big eyes evolution). Some reviewers said they found it difficult to keep in the mouth but I didn't find this to be an issue - a snorkel is supposed to move away from your mouth a bit like this so you can use your regulator easily if scuba diving. Having previously only used cheap snorkels in the past I'm really happy with this one it's night and day better.In the picture on this listing the top of the snorkel is clear but mine arrived black at the end (that's what I actually wanted so not complaining however the picture wasn't accurate)

With a decent mask (like Big Eyes) this is a way superior set-up than any "full face snorkel mask". This snorkel is well made and does the job. It breathes very freely (unlike the Full Face set-up) and the shut-off valve works very well when diving beneath the surface. The snorkel clips very conveniently to the mask strap and the flexible lower section allows it to be "spat out" when not needed whilst still being retained. Can't compare with other snorkels as I have not tried others. I have only tried the "Full Face Mask type" which I found so difficult to breathe even at very moderate exertion. They also make your face really hot as the heat of expelled breath builds up in the mask as there is no way to dissipate it. So my advice, get a conventional snorkel and decent mask and this snorkel is very good.

Just took for a week of snorkelling. Really impressive.Just need to find out how to get gravelly beach stones out of the one way mouth drain valve…
