    I bought this snorkel for my son who is new to snorkeling. He has a tendency to lift his head when snorkeling, which dips the top of the snorkel in the water and puts him at risk of getting a big mouthful of water. This snorkel design prevents him from taking in a breath when his head is tipped back like that, so he can't inhale water.

    It also has the most comfortable snorkel mouthpiece I've ever tried.

    This is the best snorkel I've ever tried out, and I've been snorkeling/diving for 22 years.

    Pros
    - Solidly built plastic.
    - Bottom purge valve works well
    - Comfortable mouth piece.

    Cons
    - The snorkel clip is a bad design. Doesn't release easily and mine broke within three dives.
    - The desert dry valve sticks shut occasionally, requiring pliers to fix. When it jams shut, you can't suck any air in. I'd classify that as a safety issue.

    Bottom line: I managed to fenagle my desert dry valve to open and close freely, and am happy with it now. But after the problems I've had with it, I wouldn't buy it again. It's a shame...usually Mares makes quality stuff; the overall build quality is good, but the dry-valve design is horrible.

    Blocked Air Flow More or Less Constant

    By Liz

    from Boston

    About Me Advanced

    Pros

    • Comfortable Mouthpiece
    • Resistant To Flooding

    Cons

    • Restricted Airflow

    Best Uses

    • Pool

    Comments about Mares Ergo Dry Snorkel:

    BE VERY CAREFUL when you use this product - blocked airflow more or less constant and unpredictable. Can be dangerous in rough seas with less experienced divers/snorkelers. I would NOT recommend this to anybody. In rough seas it was a real hindrance. Even in flat calm seas it was annoying. Very disappointed in Mares, which normally has good equipment.

        Pros

        • Comfortable Mouthpiece
        • Purge Valve

        Cons

        • Valve Sticks

        Best Uses

        • Pool
        • Snorkeling

        Comments about Mares Ergo Dry Snorkel:

        It's nice when the valve doesn't stick closed, you surface and can't inhale. Can sometimes unstuck valve by covering purge valve and blowing. Also the clip for the mask band is a pain to use. It doesn't want to go on because the band is doubled for adjustments.
