Why we recommend a hard snorkel

When it comes to free diving, skin diving, snorkeling, or any other type of diving, have you ever had trouble choosing a snorkel?

There are many different types of snorkels, including those with and without drain valves, but this time I would like to change the subject and talk about the hardness of the snorkel body.

First, please watch the video

Even though they may look almost the same, a single snorkel can have such a different hardness!

The UMMY snorkel is on the left, and the snorkel on the right is from another company.

If the snorkel body is soft, it will encounter resistance from water when diving, causing the snorkel to sway sideways. Also, water will easily get inside the snorkel when moving on the surface.

So, are there any advantages to having a soft snorkel? Yes, there is an advantage to having a soft snorkel, which is that it can be folded and stored. Therefore, it may be convenient to carry it around while traveling and do light snorkeling.

However, when diving, having a soft snorkel basically only has disadvantages. If you regularly do free diving or skin diving, we recommend that you choose a hard snorkel!

I'm sure there are many people who bought a snorkel without really thinking about it, and then saw this video and had a real shock.
