Cressi Unisex Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel Ideal for Snorkelling, Apnea and Diving

Product Information

The traditional model is technically a simple tube with a mouthpiece at the end. Usually, these classic models are not so ergonomic because of the fixed mouthpiece. Dry snorkels usually aren’t the cheapest snorkels available; you are paying for an extra mechanism that will protect you from breathing in water through the tube. This is a benefit well worth the added cost. However, the brand, style, and materials used can also impact the price. This method works if you don’t have a purge-valve on your tube. When underwater, exhale a little air into your snorkel. This air will expand when you surface and will force the water out of the tube. The mouthpiece is one of the most personal choices you’ll have to make when you’re looking for the best snorkel. Since it fits in the mouth, it’s especially important to pay attention to the shape and materials of the product. Closely inspect the mouthpiece to ensure it’s made of a soft, durable material that won’t stretch your lips or scratch the delicate mouth tissue. Also, decide if an adjustable mouthpiece is important to you as some come with hinges and ball joints while others are fixed in place. Adjustable mouthpieces usually offer a more comfortable snorkeling experience, but there are some snorkelers who still prefer the simpler, fixed style. The Cressi Big Eyes Evolution Diving and Snorkelling Mask is one of the most sought after diving masks around due to the comfort and wide range of vision. The Big Eyes mask features a quality soft High Seal silicone and double seal for an extremely comfortable and secure fit.

The snorkel comes with a high-quality silicone mouthpiece, which is not only comfortable but also removable and replaceable for enhanced durability. The mouthpiece is angled to further reduce jaw fatigue, showing the thoughtful design of this product. Now for the reservoir and purge valve. At the bottom of the mouthpiece, you’ll see a reservoir for collecting water that accidentally enters the tube. This is a feature that almost all snorkels have now, and it prevents you from ingesting the water when you try to take a breath. Dry snorkels tend to have smaller reservoirs as the reservoir is typically an unnecessary feature. After all, the dry valve is designed to prevent water from entering the tube in the first place. This set from Cressi includes the highly rated and very popular Cressi Big Eyes Evolution mask and Cressi's Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel. A top quality Mask and Snorkel combination suitable for Scuba Diving or Snorkelling. The Big Eyes mask has been around for years, worn by divers and snorkellers alike and is perhaps one of the best known masks within Cressi's extensive range.

The best dry snorkel models Cressi Supernova Crafted with a flexible, corrugated tube, the Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel is designed to minimize jaw fatigue, offering a more comfortable snorkeling experience. The flexible tube allows the mouthpiece to drop away when not in use, which makes it a fantastic choice for scuba divers. Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel helps you breath with confidence and explore the underwater world. The Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel is superb for snorkelling, helping to minimise water entering the snorkel particularly when diving below the surface. The complete Ameo Powerbreather set includes different caps for different conditions. For open water swimming in choppy water, use the long vents that provide 1-inch extra length to keep the tube completely dry. The Powerbreather can be used with scuba mask or with swimming goggles. The Ameo Powerbreather Beach is designed for snorkeling and includes a mask and the long vents too. This set provides you a similar breathing experience like a full face snorkeling mask but allows you to equalize on the traditional way.

This offer excludes large items (Kayaks, SUP,canoes, waterski’s) and hazardous products, lift rafts, distress flares, electronics. Snorkels come in all shapes and sizes. But the size we’re most concerned with here is the inner diameter of the snorkel tube. Smaller snorkel tubes will restrict the amount of air that can pass through them, and consequently, make it harder to breathe as naturally as you would above the water. Conversely, while larger tubes are easier to breathe through, they can also be bulkier and harder to work with.The trademark angled lenses of the Big Eyes provides increased downward vision, while the EVOlutionary structure of the mask frame and skirt enhances the overall experience. Modern types of snorkels usually come with a purge-valve that helps to keep the tube clear by collecting a small amount of water in a sump area. When you blow out, a little one-way valve opens and the water flows out. Learning how to clear your snorkel is an important step if it comes to snorkeling safety. There are two basic techniques to do this, the blast and the displacement clear. If you are snorkeling for the first time, the best is to practice this in a pool or calm, shallow water before heading to open water. Blast clear The snorkel is a breathing tube that helps you to breathe air from the surface when you face down and your mouth is under the water. It consists of a tube and a mouthpiece. A good snorkel is an essential part of your equipment Manufacturers often include a release button or clip that allows you to disconnect the snorkel from your mask at the end of your dive. These mechanisms are sometimes very easy to handle and your snorkel can be disconnected with one hand, and other times it takes a little finagling.

Introducing the Cressi Sub Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel - your ultimate underwater companion that lets you breathe with confidence, so you can fully immerse yourself in exploring the vibrant reef below. With this reliable snorkeling gear by your side, you won't have to worry about water obstructing your airway, letting you focus on the real underwater adventure. Dry snorkels are often thought of as best for snorkeling when you’re a beginner snorkeler. Dry snorkels can also be great for children and for anyone who has trouble clearing the water from a traditional snorkel tube. Scuba divers and free divers have even been routinely discouraged from using dry snorkels in the past. This is because the flotational dry valves can cause dry snorkels to be extrabuoyant when air is trapped inside the tube. The added buoyancy tends to make the switch between a snorkel and a buoyancy compensator awkward and inconvenient. It can also cause the snorkel to bounce around the diver’s head when it’s not in use. Fortunately, recent dry snorkel designs have been crafted with this issue in mind and are even tested to ensure they meet the standards of free divers and scuba divers. 2. Snorkeling Conditions I am not sold on the mask clip, to be honest, as I find it to be on the more fragile side. If you encounter heavy surface currents or bigger waves, it might come loose. Traditional open-tube versions are still in use and work perfectly for certain types of divers, but since water can get into easily, for a safe and comfortable snorkeling experience we recommend using a dry snorkel that won’t let any water enter the tube. What are the different types of snorkels? Look closely at your potential dry snorkel, and determine what kind of attachment clip you prefer. Keep in mind that clips that boast very easy release buttons might be just a little too easy, and may result in your snorkel disconnecting unintentionally.Although it may seem trivial at first, the mask clip is one of the most important features of the best snorkels out there. It’s a small clip that allows the tube to be attached to a snorkel mask. This prevents the tube from getting lost if it comes out of your mouth either intentionally or accidentally. Instead, the snorkel stays attached to the strap of the mask, which is secured to your head.
