Comments about Mares Mares Hydrex Superdry Flex Snorkel:

I had great difficulty keeping water out of this snorkel. I tried various tests to make sure it was used properly but still collected water. Even after immediately clearing/purging water would be back in the tube. Very puzzling based on what this snorkel should be capable of. I have another coming in the mail on Monday or Tuesday and will confirm.

Comments about Mares Mares Hydrex Superdry Flex Snorkel:

Overall the snorkel was great, it didn't allow any water to come in and at times the environments I was diving in had some decent swells before descent. But as the other comment was made, it can get in your way while diving. That being said, the style and benefits make it worth it.

Comments about Mares Mares Hydrex Superdry Flex Snorkel:

The snorkel looks great and is very functional. Good purge system, no flooding, and very comfortable. The only drawback I found is that it can get in the way while scuba diving and because of the swivel attachment, is not very streamlined towards aerodynamism of your body. Still, it is an essential piece of equipment, especially when your at surface and resting.
