There is a lot to like here, and just two nits. I have used dry snorkels and not so dry ones. My former favorite is the same color as my fins, whereas this Cressi one is not. I guess I will have to mix it up from here on. The way dry snorkels work is that a float near the not of the snorkel rises with the water if you dip it below the surface, closing off the snorkel tube and keeping water out. With my old one, it was the entire float that closed the tube. A long time ago, it stayed dry. These days it always leaks a tiny bit of water--just enough to rattle when I breathe. The Cressi snorkel has a tiny, thus very lightweight, float, that operates a lever to close a flap. Simple. Effective.

This is a snorkel tube with an automatic valve to keep water out. The tube measures 16” long and weighs 6 oz. The stiff upper portion of the tube is mounted on a flexible silicone rubber section. The replaceable mouthpiece is also made of soft silicone rubber. The tube attaches to the strap of your dive mask with a detachable snap buckle for easy installation or removal. The valve at the top of the tube works automatically to block water from entering the tube. At the bottom of the tube is a purge valve which similarly works automatically. The product was made in Italy.This is a really easy tube to use for snorkeling. I like the way the valve on top of the tube keeps water out. That way,

The Cressi Foldable Dry Snorkel is a great snorkel for beginners and people who want to avoid having to clear their snorkels. My husband and I have been snorkeling for many years now and are in the process of teaching our kids how to snorkel as well. While our kids are able to clear their snorkels reasonably well, they also are learning how to position their snorkel more effectively. The Cressi Snorkel allows our kids to snorkel for a longer period of time without having to clear their snorkels because less water gets in. The air flow is not quite as good as snorkels without the water blocker in place - this isn't an issue if you are recreationally snorkeling or move more slowly,

This is what I'd been waiting for. I'm only an amateur snorkeler, but I can't tell you how often I've thought "oh, how I WISH I had a snorkel that would allow IN enough air when I'm on the surface while at the same time closing up when I dive under water. THIS IS IT!Other "dry" snorkels I had tried failed at least partially at one or the other - either not *quite* keeping water out when I submerged or not allowing in enough air when I wasn't under water - like breathing through a thin straw, if you know what I mean. On the other models the valve mechanism that made the snorkel dry also provided an air obstruction when breathing above water.

The Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel uses a proven design. The location and length of flexible silicone tubing, and the design of the ultra dry mechanism is identical to the Oceanic Ultra Dry Snorkel (which I love). I guess if something works, then the manufacturers copy each other. The only differences are cosmetic. I prefer yellow snorkels because any extra visibility to see your partner is a good thing, so I recommend the yellow/black Cressi snorkel (not the blue one that I got). Here is a photo of the Oceanic and Cressi next to each other.

This snorkel has everything.– removable clip so you can leave it clipped to your goggle strap and then easily click it back into the snorkel– purge valve down near the mouthpiece, making it easier to purge– float that allows you to submerge the snorkel and not get water inside of it– splash guard in case waves go over you when you're underwater– flexible bottom half so that it moves the mouthpiece out of your way when you aren't using itI am thoroughly enjoying this snorkel and can't wait to go back out into the ocean with it!

Had the opportunity to try this out on an extended 10-day seaside vacation. Works great, especially the auto-seal feature that keeps water out of the snorkel tube. Never had even a trickle of water enter, never had to clear the tube while snorkeling. The removable clip design on the attachment bracket (for attaching the snorkel to a mask strap) was very helpful, making it much easier to attach or remove the snorkel from the mask when needed.The flexible design made it simple to pack as well. Would recommend this to anyone.

Super smart design. The angled pipe, just makes sense! Mouth piece sits in nice, without making my mouth soar. The bonus to this one is that it will avoid getting unwanted water into a person's mouth. Nothing worse than swallowing a heap of saltwater. I take quite a few trips that include water activities and prefer to bring along my own snorkel. I am not a huge fan of using one that is provided and was used by many others.

Dive deep, and it totally seals so virtually no water enters while diving. You can connect any google strap, there's a detachable clip. You'll need to somehow block your nose, either with a large mask, or a nose clip. Fits from pre-teen (e.g. 10 yrs old +), depending on the person. Overall, and elegant and sturdy. The Alpha ultra dry (this model) is a smaller mouth piece than the

I've used the Cressi Ultra Dry snorkel numerous times in the tropics. I like it, but I'm a bit of a gear snob. I find the Ultra to be glitch-free, easy to use, firmly connected to my mask (there's actually a separate snap for removing it while keeping the snorkel keeper on your strap), and comfortable.I don't have anything bad to say about Cressi's other popular dry snorkel,

very very nice fit and finish on this snorkel and very much like the protected top design...most important though is the feel in the mouth. The silicone is soft but seems durable. over 20 dives the snorkel has proved perfect and am very happy with it even in really heavy chop I got no splash down and when coming up from a dive it was easy to clear when I needed it

I have a slew of snorkels in my basement for multiple beach trips. This snorkel has every feature I want:- you can grip it with your teeth and jaws without any muscle fatigue- its long enough to handle small waves- the air closing end is revolutionary, clamping down whenever you do a deep dive into the waterthis is my new, favorite water toy

Awesome snorkel!! I haven't had any problems from this yet but debris does get trapped in the cover to the purge valve via water getting in the snorkel and then being blown out along with debris thus trapping it there. I see no easy way to remove the debris aside from dismantling the permanently glued on cover. Still a great snorkel though.

Excellent snorkel. The mouthpiece is solid yet soft enough so that your mouth and the mouthpiece easily conform to one another. The snorkel is easily cleared of water and has a ball valve at the top to prevent water ingress during dives. The last 6" is a flexible tube that allows it to easily bend to the desired curvature.

I got a Cressi dry snorkel before and it used to get water inside depending the position you had it underwater. This ultra dry one really does the difference. No water inside at all. I got everything separated but the whole gear from Cressi and super recommend
