Snorkel

A snorkel allows divers and snorkelers to breathe comfortably at the surface without using air from the tank. It is a simple yet practical piece of equipment that helps conserve air before and after a dive, while also making surface swimming more efficient.

When choosing a snorkel, look for a comfortable mouthpiece, a flexible or ergonomic tube design, and features such as splash guards or purge valves for easier clearing. A secure attachment system to the mask and durable materials are also important for long-term reliability. A well-designed snorkel improves comfort and efficiency at the surface.
