Box broken - no item

This is made of good quality materials and is well-designed. I have not tested in water yet but am comparing to the snorkel from the mask and snorkel set that I ordered from Pro-Dive and these are far superior materials. Has a dry feature and well to blow out water if any does somehow get in. Not sure how the dry valve will work when diving below the surface as unclear from the description. My guess is this model has the splash feature so water does not get in normally when you are on the surface and that the more expensive Alpha Ultra Dry has the full blocking system which also works when you are submerged - but this is just a guess and manufacturer description does not make very clear so will try to remember to update when I have sea-tested.Also, the clip to attach to your mask is very sturdy and has a clever design to tighten or loosen so you can set this and it should not slide unless you choose to adjust, which is a nice feature. Unfortunately I cannot find a Cressi mask which is small enough for my face so have to keep the other set which has the smaller mask, but I will keep and bring this snorkel because I have a suspicion the other one will not hold up.

I was very impressed with this snorkel. However after the first time I used it, the rubber elliptic valve came out. Hence, now unusable.

This is a nice snorkel; the silicone mouth grip is comfortable . The vent pipe has a short flexible section and a rigid upper. This is handy when diving as the flexible section moves away from your mouth when you release it.For snorkelling I like that it was a bright yellow which made it stand out against the water. The vent float at the top of the tube to stop water ingress is very effective when snorkelling. If you dive down to look at some coral when you come up the tube is dry. It also stops you accidentally taking a lung full of water as it locks the tube. Exhaling works just fine though as there is a vent on the tube near the mouthpiece.Those times you do get water in the tube; a harder exhale causes the snorkel to vent close to the mouth and it takes the water with it - no more blowing water up the tube. The combination of the vent and dry tube design makes this a good snorkel for me. Cressi includes a clip to attach the snorkel to your mask which is more comfortable than hooking it inside the mask strap. For diving and snorkelling its a nice snorkel.

Bought as a backup for my TUSA but no complaints.

Great snorkel.

I got this for a trip to Mexico and have to say it is the best i have ever used!! 10 stars
