TUSASP-170 Platina Hyperdry II Scuba Diving Snorkel

When my wife received her dive certification recently we went and got her a mask that fit her face as that is the most important thing. I was hoping it would be a Tusa but it wasn't. With that thought I knew this was the snorkel. With this being made so flexible it is fantastic to pack into our travel bags and go. You can roll it up squish it, or bend it any way to get it in your bag and when you pull it out it springs right back into its shape. The blue actually matched perfectly with her mask and she loved everything about it.

Snorkel is comfortable in my small mouth and is of great quality. I read a critical review in which the person said he/she/they/them are returning the snorkel because it's not a dry snorkel. That is correct -- it isn't a dry snorkel and if the person read the information on Amazon about the snorkel, they would have realized this. It is advertised as a semi-dry snorkel, which is what I was looking for--a good quality, comfortable semi-dry snorkel. The problem with dry snorkels is if you happen to get sand in the snorkel as you're swimming, you may not be able to breathe and will need to try to clear that "spec" of sand out before you can continue snorkeling. Reviewers shouldn't criticize a product for something it isn't supposed to be. Remember to read the information about what you're purchasing so you know what to expect.

I purchased this to replace a 20+ year old Tusa snorkel that I had been using for SCUBA. The old snorkel was still working fine but I got a new mask and just thought that it was time to get a new snorkel as well. The new one seems to be of similar quality as the old one so I have no doubt that it will last. It's flexible enough to be comfortable and easy to use but it straightenes when not in use so it doesn't get in the way when you are on the regulator. The valve works well so it clears easily and it stays dry at the surface. I highly recommend this snorkel whether it is for SCUBA or free diving.

Very comfortable in the mouth with a sturdy simple keeper. Great match for the same color TUSA mask.

This snorkel somehow allows me to feel like I am getting twice as much air as my previous high-quality snorkel. It has a good mouthpiece, drains entering water well through a side channel, and is easy to blow out water after surface dives. I also like that even the solid part of the tube is bendable--useful for tucking in a vest while diving. The corrugated part of the snorkel makes it easy to get comfortable. I recommend it. This is the third purchase of this snorkel for my family--after another person tries it, he gives up on his previous snorkel and gets this.

I like everything about it, except that it's a little narrower than snorkels I'm used to. After diving then purging, I can't breathe quite as fully or quickly as I'd like during recovery. If you aren't into submerging or you have smaller lungs/airway than ~170 male, this is probably just right for you. The dry top works great, the purge valve works great. Snorkel has just the right amount of flex, great hydrodynamics, nice mouth fit. Too bad they don't sell them in different sizes.

The flexible part of the tube is soft and easy to HD in your mouth, and also easy to get out of the way. The angle of the mouthpiece is comfortable, and eliminates jaw fatigue. I wish I could have bought just the mouthpiece, as I lost it (my fault) after 4 years of frequent use and abuse. But it held up so well, and I liked it so much, I just replaced the whole thing.

Works great may even buy another one.

Excellente qualité. L’eau se vide facilement du tuba, quand on remonte à la surface

Non ci sono paragoni tra questo tubo per snorkeling e tutti gli altri, il boccaglio è comodissimo, la gomma (silicone) flessibile è lunga e accompagna la faccia in ogni movimento senza ostacolare, anche la sezione del tubo è studiata di forma schiacciata per offrire meno resistenza all’acqua e non trasmettere forza alla maschera o alla faccia, la valvola consente un efficace svuotamento dall’acqua senza dover fare la fatica di dover soffiare con forza; poi ci sono innumerevoli altri particolari di progettazione e realizzazione di questo tubo che ne fanno uno strumento pressocchè perfetto.L’unica accortezza da rispettare è quella di prestare attenzione a non far entrare la sabbia nel meccanismo della valvola che potrebbe incepparsi o rovinarsi.

I got this on the recommendation of a colleague for snorkelling in the Indian Ocean. Over the years I have had many snorkels and as we snorkel for relatively long periods I have always suffered from 'snorkel fatigue' where I get a sore mouth to some degree. With the softness of this mouthpiece and the built in flexibility in the tube I didn't get any snorkel fatigue-this is the most comfortable snorkel I have ever had - and I've had quite a few. It also keeps your breath nice and dry, even when diving down. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to snorkel in comfort for long periods.

Great snorkel, well made and easy to use.

Prompte Lieferung, einwandfreie Ware, gerne wieder! Einziger Wermutstropfen war die Nachentrichtung der Mehrwertsteuer beim Zoll. Aber dafür habe ich halt einen Schnorchel "vom anderen Ende der Welt" erhalten.
