We chose this snorkel as the best dry option because it stays completely dry underwater without sacrificing breathability. Snorkelers can have faith in their snorkel as waves top overhead or their body dips under the water. Additionally, it operates smoothly in comparison to other snorkels on the market and allows the diver to breathe comfortably.

Things we like:
- Snorkel is highly breathable
- Comfortable mouthpiece fits well and prevents water from entering
- Dry ball chamber keeps snorkel dry
- Snorkel disconnects from the mask with the click of a button
Things we don't like:
- Dry-ball mechanism is not suitable nor safe for freediving
- Purge valve’s membrane must be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of sand and salt.
- Deep-well purge chamber may become a dead air space if snorkelers do not breathe properly
Take a moment to look at this.
