Dry Snorkel with Purge Valve - Snorkel Gear for Adults with Comfortable Silicone Mouthpiece & Quick Release Clip - Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Freediving, Spearfishing, Swimming

This snorkel has nice soft silicone flex tube and mouth piece which is very comfortable to use. The mouth piece has a smaller form factor that feels much more natural in my mouth; less like a large mouth guard. The flex tube is naturally bent a little so it doesn't try to pull the mouth piece out like other snorkels with a straight tube. Both the dry and purge valves work awesome! If you swim a little crazy and go upside down or flip around and turn the snorkel upside down, it does stay dry for he most part but it is possible that a little water can get in. I will say that it definitely is a lot less than other 'dry' snorkels that I've tried. The best thing though is that because the silicone flex tube is so soft, it's really easy to just squeeze it a little and blow a big puff of air to get rid of the water, even while still underwater! I think the extra bit of space between the mouthpiece and purge valve is what helps keep whatever little water that gets in, away from the airway. It's also really cool looking, and the logo is pretty cool, so there's that.

Nice, dry, comfortable snorkel. I can dive with it comfortably or snorkel with it for an hour. I find it to be ergonomic

Very comfortable silicone mouthpiece and great dry-top design. Keeps water out well, and the purge valve makes clearing easy. Works perfectly for relaxed snorkeling and feels well made

Works well but this is the first snorkel that ever felt a bit sharp on my gums. So uncomfortable but otherwise worked fine

Never used a snorkel before but I had a trip to hawaii coming up. The Kraken brand name came up in a number of YouTube videos I'd seen while doing a little research on what to look for. This item did NOT disappoint! Good construction with quality materials and super easy to use. My first time snorkeling was an amazing experience thanks to this snorkel and Kraken mask combo. The little floaty valve thing did its' job keeping water out for the most part, but when i did get the occasional splash of water into the tube, I was able to blow it out completely using the mouthpiece valve. My only issue with this one was that I had to blow with a good amount of effort to get the water out. Not really an inconvenience but it could just be that im new to snorkeling. Other than that, I'd like to mention the quick mask disconnect feature is pretty nice too. makes removal from the mask super easy when it's time to clean it out. I've since discovered more advanced gear as I'm completely sold on snorkeling now so i'll be upgrading the mask to a prescription one but this is an amazing snorkel that i'll be using for a long time to come!

I upgraded my snorkeling gear for a recent trip to the USVI. A comfortable snorkel that actually keeps water out of my tube was at the top of my list. The Kraken snorkel was GREAT! It's comfortable, easy to clip on and off, and worked better than I had hoped. Unlike another snorkel in our gear bag, if you accidentally breathe in a little while underwater, no water enters the snorkel or your mouth from either the top or the bottom valve. This is a great feature for new snorkelers or people who find themselves a little anxious when swimming in the ocean. I showed it to some friends who are experienced divers and snorkelers, and they all loved the floating ball feature. So smart! Unfortunately, my new gear all got lost midway through the trip. We flew home last night, and I'm back on Amazon re-buying this same snorkel today.

Quality material. Comfortable fiting. Well made and durable.

I had purchased the Kraken snorkel to go with my Kraken Snorkel Mask for an upcoming trip to Bermuda. I unfortunately didn’t have an opportunity to test it before we left on our vacation. The snorkel itself seemed to work just fine, however, the clip that holds the snorkel in place, had cracked on first use, and would not hold the snorkel in place at all, rendering it useless. My fault for not testing it out first, but even that is not a guarantee of non-failure at a later time. Now that the return/exchange time period is over, I guess I’m stuck a with a broken snorkel, and will have to buy a third party fix for it, as it doesn’t seem Kraken sells those parts individually.
