All of our snorkels are designed with comfort and quality
in mind. When purchasing a snorkel you want to make sure you have a good fit
to your mouth for comfort. If you have a snorkel that does not meet the
comfort qualities you may experience "jaw fatigue". This will make for an
unpleasurable and probably short adventure.
Some of our snorkels comes with a "Purge
Valve" feature. What is a purge valve? It is a part of the equipment that
allows you to clear out the water from the snorkel or mask. As your level of
snorkeling advances, you will want to dive deeper beneath the water, this of
course allows water to come into the snorkel. Upon surfacing you will "blow
out" the water. You may not be able to force all of the water out and small
amounts may accumulate near the mouthpeice of the snorkel. The purge valve is
the solution to releasing that extra water build up. The Purge Valve
feature is a great feature to have on any snorkeling or dive equipment.
