Snorkelling Equipment

The most important part of snorkelling equipment is, unsurprisingly, the snorkel. Selecting a decent snorkel can make or break a fun day. There are several parts of the snorkel that must be carefully evaluated before purchase. The first is the mouthpiece. It doesn’t matter how technically useful a snorkel is if it hurts your mouth to hold it. The mouthpiece should be soft and have flexible edges. It may also be a good idea to have an extra strap around the mouthpiece so that holding it in place requires less effort on the snorkeler’s part.

The snorkel itself is just a flexible plastic tube meant to reach above the surface of the water while the snorkeller is submerged to allow them to breathe while underwater. However, because of waves and splashes, the snorkel could still sometimes become filled with water. Drain valves are a handy feature on many snorkels that allow a snorkeller to release excess water while still breathing. Other snorkels are equipped with caps that attach to the top to allow air but not water to enter. These tend to create mixed opinions among divers.

Some snorkels are designed to clip directly to your diving goggles or mask; others attach to the head only by a strap. Either way, it’s key to make sure that the snorkel is adjusted to an angle that will keep it above water but still remain comfortable and out of the way.
