Brand: Akona

Located in: Essential Equipment, Snorkels

Akona's most popular snorkel has a semi-dry top which keeps most of the water splash in the surf or rough water from coming in the snorkel tube and has an easy clear purge valve with a deep well reservoir to keep the air way clear of residual water. The snorkel comes equipped with a comfortable clear replaceble silicone mouthpiece which curves inward to reduce jaw fatigue. The snorkel keeper is easy to attach to your favorite mask and the snorkel has a large smooth bore flex tube to keep it out of the way when on Scuba.

It held up well for about 10 uses. Now the purge leaks water, I'm not inhaling it but theres a noticeable build up and gurgling noise. This will now just be an emergency back up

Comments about Akona Akona Andros Snorkel:

The purge valve is very weak, and leaks. It was not so bad that I inhaled water, but the sound of the water gurgling around in it is distracting and annoying (to me anyway) It was super easy to purge though. A quick puff, and it was empty again. I suppose for the price it's okay, but I'm going to throw it away when I buy a better one soon.

Comments about Akona Akona Andros Snorkel:

WARNING STAY AWAY IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM.
this come with a very cheap rubber thing on the bottom of the purge value so water can go in very easily. everytime i try to blow the water out through the purge value more water keeps getting in. I have to keep taking it out my mouth and empty the water inside. purge value do not work at all. lend it to my friend and he almost drowned using this snorkel. DO NOT BUY!
