Cressi Adult Diving Dry Snorkel with Splash Guard and Top Valve - Supernova Dry: Designed in Italy

The Cressi Dry Snorkel is a game changer! The flexible body makes it significantly more comfortable than traditional solid snorkels, allowing for a more natural and relaxed fit while you're in the water. One of the standout features is the dry attachment at the top – it keeps every single drop of water out, ensuring that you can snorkel without worrying about leaks. Unlike other designs that can sometimes get stuck closed, this snorkel works smoothly every time, allowing for effortless breathing.

This is the second Cressi snorkel I have purchased and am now reviewing. The first one was the more expensive, so supposedly better, Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry, and I reviewed that snorkel here:https://www.amazon.com/review/R3O2ULYGVZ6VDC/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BX51IUCIn a nutshell, I was not happy with it because for some reason, while using it extensively for a week in Bonaire, I found that it was letting some water in when less expensive snorkels I had used in the past did not.I was still confident in the Cressi brand, so after returning it, I replaced it with the Cressi Supernova Dry Snorkel that I am reviewing here. I am only submitting this review now, several months after my purchase, because I did not have the opportunity to try it out until just now. I am happy to report that for me, this less expensive snorkel in the Cressi line, actually works better. I used it under various conditions over several days recently, and not once did I have the water intrusion problem that I had with the "better" Cressi snorkel. (To be fair, my wife is still using the better model, and she did not have the issues I had.)This Cressi Supernova snorkel works as a good snorkel should. The detachable clip makes it easy to attach and detach it from your snorkel mask. It simply does not allow water in while you are snorkeling. You can free-dive with it, and when you surface there is not water that needs to be cleared, or at least there wasn't for me the few times I free-dove with it. The mouth piece is comfortable.All in all, I am very pleased with this snorkel.If you found this review helpful, it would be great if you said so by clicking on the “Yes” button below.

By far the best snorkel for the pool. Ease to clear water even when under. Fits well with my goggles. Lasts longer than other brands I've tried, which shows great quality.

great snorkels, work as they should, soft and supple

The material is very good, soft silicone.The edges of the mouthpiece could be a little smoother, this is nitpicking but your tongue and gums are very aware of the edges.From a functionality standpoint I don’t know if some of the other reviewers ever got in the ocean or if they were just tinkering in a swimming pool but I got several mouthfuls of saltwater when using as intended in the ocean.I think it has something to do with the gills not having a guard from splashing, in other words if you go down into the water the float will cut off the water but if you get splashed from a small wave plenty of water gets into tne gills and into your mouth because it wasn’t enough water to float the float.Overall very good, especially for the price…I just need to keep it real and not set false expectations.

Great quality for this price. Had a scuba course and it worked great. Worth my money.

My wife loved this snorkel worked well fit was good. Quality made product. I would recommend it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve been using this style snorkel for many years for lap swimming. It works very well! The valve on top does the job of keeping out any water.
