Akona Jakarta Snorkel Review
The Akona Jakarta is our pick for the best J-tube snorkel on the market. The J-shape naturally frames a diver’s face and proves to be an effective, simple snorkel. The J-tube itself is made of semi-rigid plastic, which is great for travelers who need to pack their snorkels.
The plastic Akona used to construct the tube is thick and feels durable. Without a splash guard, divers can breathe freely through the snorkel. There is a purge valve at the base of the snorkel for quick clearing. The simple, hardy design means this snorkel will last for a long time and prove to be a reliable piece of gear.
