TUSA SP-170 Platina Hyperdry II Scuba Diving Snorkel

I purchased this to replace a 20+ year old Tusa snorkel that I had been using for SCUBA. The old snorkel was still working fine but I got a new mask and just thought that it was time to get a new snorkel as well. The new one seems to be of similar quality as the old one so I have no doubt that it will last. It's flexible enough to be comfortable and easy to use but it straightenes when not in use so it doesn't get in the way when you are on the regulator. The valve works well so it clears easily and it stays dry at the surface. I highly recommend this snorkel whether it is for SCUBA or free diving.

Seriously best Snorkel I’ve ever used!! I even did a lot of research to find a good one! It is super light, easy on the jaw, I’ve never had any issues with water getting in, and it’s extremely easy to clear!If you want a GREAT snorkel- choose this one no doubt!

Snorkel is comfortable in my small mouth and is of great quality. I read a critical review in which the person said he/she/they/them are returning the snorkel because it's not a dry snorkel. That is correct -- it isn't a dry snorkel and if the person read the information on Amazon about the snorkel, they would have realized this. It is advertised as a semi-dry snorkel, which is what I was looking for--a good quality, comfortable semi-dry snorkel. The problem with dry snorkels is if you happen to get sand in the snorkel as you're swimming, you may not be able to breathe and will need to try to clear that "spec" of sand out before you can continue snorkeling. Reviewers shouldn't criticize a product for something it isn't supposed to be. Remember to read the information about what you're purchasing so you know what to expect.

I do a lot of snorkeling in the Caribbean and it's important for me to have a snorkel that works effectively all the time - just got this one and it was more than satisfactory for the two weeks away.

This is the best snorkel I've ever used. It's easy to clear after coming up from diving, the size is perfect and reduced effort I didn't realize existed until it wasn't there, and it looks cool too. The price may look high, but it's totally worth every penny. I am so happy I bought this.

Breathes well, a good make, arrived quickly

Works well

I like everything about it, except that it's a little narrower than snorkels I'm used to. After diving then purging, I can't breathe quite as fully or quickly as I'd like during recovery. If you aren't into submerging or you have smaller lungs/airway than ~170 male, this is probably just right for you. The dry top works great, the purge valve works great. Snorkel has just the right amount of flex, great hydrodynamics, nice mouth fit. Too bad they don't sell them in different sizes.

Prompte Lieferung, einwandfreie Ware, gerne wieder! Einziger Wermutstropfen war die Nachentrichtung der Mehrwertsteuer beim Zoll. Aber dafür habe ich halt einen Schnorchel "vom anderen Ende der Welt" erhalten.

Non ci sono paragoni tra questo tubo per snorkeling e tutti gli altri, il boccaglio è comodissimo, la gomma (silicone) flessibile è lunga e accompagna la faccia in ogni movimento senza ostacolare, anche la sezione del tubo è studiata di forma schiacciata per offrire meno resistenza all’acqua e non trasmettere forza alla maschera o alla faccia, la valvola consente un efficace svuotamento dall’acqua senza dover fare la fatica di dover soffiare con forza; poi ci sono innumerevoli altri particolari di progettazione e realizzazione di questo tubo che ne fanno uno strumento pressocchè perfetto.L’unica accortezza da rispettare è quella di prestare attenzione a non far entrare la sabbia nel meccanismo della valvola che potrebbe incepparsi o rovinarsi.

Great snorkel, well made and easy to use.

I found it better than my atomic snorkel in terms of drainage and water getting in from the top.

Best snorkel I ever had, still works fine after 2 seasons.
