Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Great dry snorkel that really does keep water out. Worked perfectly for floating while waiting for the boat to pick me up or for snorkeling. Occasionally, if I leaned too far forward the dry valve would close when I didn't want it to, but it's easy enough to reopen.

this is the best snorkel u can find is just perfect and is dry for real, highly recommended

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

This worked great for swimming around in the pool with the snorkel out of the water. We liked it and bought a second.

But the first time we submerged and then surfaced, we couldn't clear the water out of the tube. The other worked just like the first.

We have non-flexible dry snorkels that have no such problems. We thought the flex tubes would be great to fold and stick in a BCD pocket, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on this while waiting for a boat to return

Very good snorkel have baught more expensive ones in the past and this one beats them all...i recommend this product!

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

I used this for the first time right out of the bag in Cancun on a snorkeling trip. It was very windy that day with chop. I had absolutely no trouble keeping water out. We would drift down the reef, then swim against the current to the starting point and do it again. No trouble even when hitting waves. I hate snorkels and loved this one. My wife loved it so much I had to order her one when we got home. I don't go on and on about things, but this is a steal. We love it.

This is what I would get for my entire family - easy to use and breeze.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

The mouthpiece is not the most comfortable and I wouldn't use this for very long periods of time unless I replaced it, but for scuba it works well. It is not too expensive and I don't see the point of paying a whole lot of money if you don't have to. I would recommend a different snorkel if you are planning to use it a lot.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

This snorkel was inexpensive at the time of purchase ([$]) and so it's difficult to complain too vigorously, but though it performed well in small swells and calm inner reef diving and spearfishing, it created problems in larger swells and rough seas. I found that it would take on sea water and restrict breathing at times, which is something you just don't want to think about several thousand yards off the beach. I have to think that for the price it makes a good back-up, but you might be better off continuing your search for a full time snorkel.

This would be ideal if it had the comfo bite mouthpiece to help reduce jaw fatigue.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Bought two for a snorkeling trip to Cozumel. We used them to snorkel everyday and found them to be excellent! They were comfortable, reduced fatigue and I never had any water in my mouth.

So far I have used this for snorkeling and submerging in a 10ft pool. I find that understanding the mechanics of how this snorkel works helps with getting maximum performance from the features. It has rarely flooded in my use so far. Getting a breath of air instead of a mouth full of water when you surface is a huge plus. And even if a little water gets in the full breath is still dry and purging is a breeze.
I look forward to diving with the Ultra Dry...

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Great snorkel, but I had a little problem setting it up so it would not close off while breathing, but other than that it works great.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Purges easily and quietly. Great when photographing. Works very well in choppy/rough water.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Good snorkel. Does what is says and keeps the water out. Minimal water got in during a two hour dive, very easy to clear.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

This snorkel is reasonable in terms of function, unbeatable in terms of value. The "dry" feature is not perfect - the bob flips back and forth rather than up and down, so it sometimes causes the snorkel to close if you tilt your head too far in one direction. Once you learn how to avoid that it's not a big deal. Also, I found that it did flood a bit upon diving under while snorkeling, so I'm not so sure about the "ultra dry" claim. Still, hard to beat for the price.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Used it to complete an 800m swim.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Good for its price, sits nice but sometime s the anti flood valve can lock easily at some angles.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

12/21/08 I just got back from two dives this morning using this snorkel. The mouthpiece is comfortable, no need to jaw down hard on it to keep it in place. The mount holds well, but allows for easy re-positioning. The purge valve works very well. And the only thing I didn't like was how easy the top valve closes to prevent water and AIR from flowing. I did not experience any flooding, but in choppy water and with heavy inhaling the valve up top would close in the middle of intake. It was frustrating. Now I believe this is an excellent snorkel for swimming around in more sedate waters, but in chop or for someone with large lungs, this snorkel may be too sensitive for hassle free use. On both dives I just used my regulator while at the surface. I will try it again before I decide to purchase another snorkel. Check back to see my 2nd opinion.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

I never once had it flood, the purge valve works like a dream. The mouth piece is very comfortable, I was breathing as well in the water as I do on dry land.

So easy to use my 6 year old niece mastered it in under 5 min.

The quick disconnect on the snorkel is great, set it once on your mask and it will always be the same when you clip the Snorkel back on.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

I bought this for my wife. She loved the fact that it didn't flood in rough water while snorkeling.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

We bought 3 of these to take on a trip to St. John, VI last summer. We found this snorkel was definitely "dry" even on a windy day when we were out in swells of several feet (our charter sail boat heeled way over on its side).

We are definitely novices. I found I sometimes could not get a real good deep breath of air when my head was out of the water...the only solution was to plop my head down in the water and enjoy the under water scenery. That was a little disconcerting for me and I suppose that is due to "dry" feature; the other 2 family members did not complain about this. I found if I had my head out of the water I often just had to remove mouthpiece.

We did not have problem with purge. I read in a book in our St. John condo all you have to do is say "two" into the mouth piece and the water will shoot right out. That worked!!

We spent 6 days going to different beaches on St John and had a blast with the snorkeling equipment we purchased. Our stuff was better quality and it was more convenient than renting.

I got it on time and it worked very well.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

This snorkel is a great value for the price. The only thing I didn't like was that it seemed like the piece that keeps water from entering moved a little to easily and restricted the air flow.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Nice Snorkel.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

I instintively kept "clearing" my snorkel but quickly realized that the purge valve in the Blue Reef Ultra Dry kept the unit clear for me.

By far the best snorkel I've ever used.

If I misplaced this one, I wouldn't even look at any other. Guaranteed you'll be happy with it!

Wife and daughter used them in Cancun to snorkel and loved them.

Comments about Aqua Blue Reef Ultra Dry Flex Snorkel:

Good fit and feel, but found it would flood relatively easily.
