Excellent snorkel. Works exactly as it should. It's a Cressi so you know it's good.

Average performance without being perfect
The float valve of the dry top can be pulled off for cleaning, if get stuck by dried sea water.However, larger coral pieces can get into the non-removable purge valve guard. It is a bit annoying.Also, it's an asymmetrical design, i.e. purge valve at the back rather than at the bottom, means it can only be mounted on the left. It's not suitable for people who like their snorkel on the right if they prefer.

Super Schnorchel für "Süßwassermatrosen"
Meine Tochter (13 Jahre) taucht gerne und ausgiebig in Schwimmbad oder Baggersee.Bisher nutzte sie einen schlichten Schnorchel ohne irgendwelche zusätzlchen Extras mit dem Nachteil, dass sie, sobald sie aus Versehen etwas zu tief untergetaucht ist, regelmäßig einiges an Wasser verschluckt hat.Da ihre beste Freundin bereits einen Trockenschnorchel besitzt, und sie diesen auch schon mit Begeisterung testen durfte, hat sie sich nun ebenfalls einen solchen Schnorchel gewünscht.Dieser Schnorchel von Cressi bleibt beim Untertauchen komplett trocken, das heißt es dringt kein Wasser ein (und kann auch folglich nicht verschluckt werden), was sehr gut funktioniert und meiner Tochter absolut gefällt.Zusätzlich hat er noch folgende positiven Ausstattungsmerkmale wie:* ein Mundstück aus absolut geruchfreiem Silikon* einen Spritzwasserschutz, der insbesondere bei unruhigem Wasser / Wellengang verhindert, dass Wasser von oben in den Schnorchel eindringen kann* ein Ausblasventil, durch das man eingedrungenes Wasser bequem wieder ausblasen kann* eine Halterung, mit der sich der Schnorchel an der Maske befestigen lässt* ein Clipmechanismus, mit der sich der Schnorchel einfach von der Halterung lösen lässt (toll wenn man ihn reinigen möchte)Auch an der Qualität des Schnorchels gibt es nichts auszusetzen, rundum wertig verarbeitet gibt es keinerlei Spaltmaße, Unregelmäßigkeiten oder Produktionsfehler, das gesamte Material wirkt absolut vertrauenserweckend.Zugegeben, der Einsatzbereich meiner Tochter ist im Anfänger- / Freizeitbereich in ruhigen Gewässern anzusiedeln. Für diese Ansprüche ist dieser Schnorchel aber absolut top.Inwieweit er sich für den Profibereich eignet, vermag ich nicht zu beurteilen. Unsere Ansprüche erfüllt er zur vollsten Zufriedenheit, daher kann ich ihn zumindest für "Süßwassermatrosen" und Gelegenheitstaucher empfehlen.

Fantastic Dry Snorkel for Snorkeling (Not Scuba Diving).
We just got back from two weeks in the beautiful Caribbean and my family of four compared snorkels. I personally have tested a multitude of fins, masks, and snorkels during my time as a spear fisherman, scuba diver, free diver, and of course….snorkeler! And since our daughters were born and quickly took to the water I now get to test even more equipment. We literally have two large boxes out in our garage of masks, fins and snorkels.Just for the record, I did not get anything free or discounted for my reviews. I bought them on Amazon or a dive store just like you.There are two snorkeling snorkels that consistently get top reviews so I bought them both to compare. The Sherwood Tiga Dry Snorkel vs. the Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry. With one difference they are the same. They are both GREAT snorkels! They breathe great in all positions. They have comfortable mouth pieces. They're great. But no matter how many times I tell the kids to keep the snorkels out of the sand, they get sand in the snorkels. And that is the problem between these two. The purge valves on the bottom of the snorkels are both protected but as you can see in my attached photos the Cressi has tiny holes and the Sherwood has larger, longer slits. Sand and tiny shells get caught in the tiny holes but not in the larger, longer slits on the Sherwood. Simple as that. I was able to carefully remove the plastic piece with the tiny holes to clean out the chamber but it was really difficult and I had to be careful to not break the plastic. It wasn't easy but I was able to to it.So bottom line. Save yourself some cleaning time and buy the Sherwood.If you're wondering about the title I gave this review the answer is that you should use a non-dry snorkel for Scuba diving. Dry snorkels are buoyant underwater and they are too bulky and can cause more drag and may cause them to pull on your mask more than a streamlined non-dry snorkel.Bonus tip for women and anyone with long hair. Replace the mask clip on your snorkel with a Silicone Snorkel Keeper. Mask clips almost always get caught in your hair. The keepers won't. I have bought these and they work great.

Este seguro que no lo pierdo. El ajuste es perfecto.
el ajuste, por lo que lo compre, es perfecto. Seguro que este no lo pierdo. Ademas técnicamente es mucho mejor que el modelo anterior. Aunque cueste el doble vale la pena.
