Snorkel with confidence. This world-known snorkel is absolutely dry. The astounding 12-year Pressure Release Valve Technology features an airway which automatically closes and opens with water contact. As you surface for air, this snorkel does the thinking for you and opens the airway so you can breathe. Come up for air without having to clear a barrel of water. Unbelievable but true, this snorkel can actually be submerged in any position, even upside down. Many snorkels may claim to be dry. If you really want to know the truth, they aren't. This is. Many extra features were added to this snorkel so that you have maximum enjoyment on your nexttrip to the world aquarium often called the sea. Beginners love the ease with which this snorkel works to reveal the whole new worldthat is not dry but completely the opposite. At the lower end of the snorkel. If you're a diver or plan to become one soon, a one-way purge valve on the bottom of the snorkel conveniently helps you clear out any water that enters when you remove your scuba regulator from your mouth and enable your snorkel after a dive. The new easy-to-use snorkel keeper is the handy way to secure the snorkel to your mask. The mouthpiece is made of super-soft high grade silicone. It is replaceable to give you years of long lasting enjoyment. Quality is evident. Today a product as remarkable as this is indeed rare and will surely gain your lasting appreciation.

Comments about Ocean Master Famous Brand by Ocean Master Taiwan 3D Flex Dry Snorkel is Back!:

I love this snorkel! The "3D" portion of this snorkel allows it to move into any position to allow for you to be comfortable wearing it. It has a very unique design on the intake, channels run up to the top creating an umbrella if you will, thus keeping out sea spray or rogue waves... and as soon as you begin to submerge it shuts tightly stopping all water from coming in.

Maybe this is a newer model than the one a previous poster commented on, but it does have a purge valve. Also I love the size of the tube itself, it is larger than other snorkels I have used and makes for very easy breathing.

Last thing I would like to comment on is the warranty... the warranty card that comes with this snorkel says that it is guaranteed for 10 years - unconditionally - No need to send in a proof of purchase..whether you steal it from your dive buddy or find it on the ocean floor... you send it in and they will fix it!!!! now that is a warranty!!!

Comments about Ocean Master Famous Brand by Ocean Master Taiwan 3D Flex Dry Snorkel is Back!:

I've tried several "dry" snorkels in the past but they were never really dry, making me gulp quite a few mouthfuls of salty seawater. I borrowed this one (formerly made by the Oceanmaster brand) from a dive buddy on a liveaboard to try, expecting to be disappointed. Boy was I surprised and impressed - it truly stays d-r-y. The valve shuts off before even a drop of water enters. Now this is the only snorkel I use. The mask attachment clip broke a year ago, but it was easily replaced by a rubber or silicone one.

I bought two of these for my wife and I both. We agree best snorkel ever. Very comfortable for both of us. Made our snorkel and dive in the Caribbean that much more enjoyable. Just got back but wanted to make sure I gave my two cents on a terrific snorkel. Thanks Leisure Pro

Comments about Ocean Master Famous Brand by Ocean Master Taiwan 3D Flex Dry Snorkel is Back!:

I've had this snorkel -- replacing it with a flexible one in a different color this year -- for over a decade now, and wouldn't have any other. For those of us who freak out when we snort a few molecules of water, this is a perfect snorkel; when they say "dry", they MEAN "dry"! It closes completely at the first hint of water, and is long enough to always be above the water line no matter how you move your head around to see. No purge valve, but it's really not necessary when there's nothing to purge. Terrific, innovative design that really does what it says. Worth every penny and then some.

Very nice snorkel. Just used it in Aruba. Had no problems. Snorkel worked well. Only shortcomming would be that it lacks a quick-release.

Comments about Ocean Master Famous Brand by Ocean Master Taiwan 3D Flex Dry Snorkel is Back!:

This truly is a dry snorkel. You will not have to worry about getting water through the top of the pipe with this one! If you do get any water in through your mouth piece, the bottom purge sends it right out. This is my first snorkel that was not a strait pipe and doubt I will ever switch to another style or brand.

Comments about Ocean Master Famous Brand by Ocean Master Taiwan 3D Flex Dry Snorkel is Back!:

I've been diving for over 10 years and went through several snorkels before I found this 3 years ago. It's the best snorkel out there, in my opinion.This will be the last snorkel I'll ever use. It stays completely dry - not a drop of water enters the snorkel. Once the opening encounters water, the valve shuts off completely, You don't breathe any air or water. I have the flex model attached to my mask, which is comfortable and handy. I recommend this snorkel to all my students and dive buddies.
