Best Simple Snorkel 2021

It all started with the Simple Snorkel back in the days where there is not much to it hence the word “Simple”. A Plastic tube and a mouth piece.

The Simple Snorkel is just a bent tube with a silicone mouth piece at the end so clearing it out, if there is water inside is much harder than on a Snorkel with purge valve.

They are still around today as well as preferred by many including me.

When water enters the Snorkel it will stay in until you give it a hard blow and all the water sprays out on top of the snorkel.

The snorkel is sometimes not empty after the first blow and that’s where it gets a little hard as you have to slowly breath in and surpass the water still remaining in the snorkel. That only works if there isn’t too much water inside.

If there is still water left in the snorkel at the surface and you can’t bypass it or don’t have enough air to blow a second time obviously you can still remove it from your mouth and empty it that way but you might have lost sight to that beautiful turtle you were just watching.

Snorkel designs vary based on bore diameter and length, and should be chosen based on a snorkeler’s needs and body type.

The bore should not exceed 1 inch (2,5 cm).
Max Length of snorkels should not exceed 12 to 18 inches (30-45cm)
