Comments about Aqualung AquaLung Impulse 2 Snorkel:

This is a very nice snorkel, for snorkeling. For scuba diving it is just too large and bulky. It ends up getting in the way a lot.

Comments about Aqualung AquaLung Impulse 2 Snorkel:

I have been free diving for almost 30 years. I had the original impulse snorkel and loved it. The Impulse 2 is a poor replacement. To save some money they got rid of the flange that held the upper valve in place and replaced it with a small rib in the body of the tube. The result is that almost every time I purge the snorkel it blows out the valve. Once that happens you suck in water with every breath. I was hoping there was a part missing, but looked at another Impulse 2 at a local shop, and it is exactly the same construction. I am returning this one, and I am going to see if I can find an original.

Comments about Aqualung AquaLung Impulse 2 Snorkel:

I bought this for a recent trip to Turneffe Islands. It worked great. Wind blew hard all week so there was always a lot of wave action which was a good test of "dry" design. Impulse 2 was good at preventing most water from entering-- any that did get in didn't bother me since I've used a very basic non "dry" design for years and am used to blowing out before every breath. Purge valve required very little effort. Mouthpiece was comfortable and didn't really notice any jaw/mouth fatigue after the 3 hours or so of snorkeling we did every day. [...] Overall great value for the [$]

I recomend this snorkel to my groups to snorkel and freedive with wild dolphins, whale sharks and humpback whales. [...] I have a link to this site on my web page so people can by it online before they join me on an Adventure. I have used this 'Impulse II' and the original 'impulse I' since 1995 now... I'm very happy with it.
