The Sherwood Cai Semi-Dry is one of the most comfortable snorkels on the market. The mouthpiece has a special silicone addition that presses into the snorkeler’s hard palate. This makes the snorkel feel secure, even during rough surface conditions.

An innovative splash guard keeps the inner snorkel dry even during waves. What sets this piece apart is the superior airflow when compared to other splash guards on the market. Divers should note that it may be difficult to clean the purge valve, however, due to  the plastic grate that sits over it.

In addition, the simple push of a button easily connects or disconnects your mask from your snorkel. This is great if you want to keep it in your BCD pocket during a dive for the ultimate hydrodynamic set up.
