 Snorkel
Using a snorkel allows us to breathe while keeping our face submerged. Since we do not have to raise our face out the water while continuing to breathe, when swimming across the surface of the water we conserve both our strength and tank air. Snorkels with a purge valve - to help clear the tube - are very common these days. We mount the snorkel to the mask strap on the left side of the mask. It is best to choose a snorkel with has a soft but durable mouthpiece – usually silicone. To match lung capacity, women’s and children’s snorkels are also available.
