Cressi Unisex Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel Ideal for Snorkelling, Apnea and Diving

Product Information

All types including simple J models, semi-dry and dry snorkels can feature a purge valve. It is important to rinse the purge-valve after each use to remove the salt and sand particles, otherwise the valve can get clogged. How to clear your snorkel? A flexi lower tube section and ergonomic mouthpiece ensure a comfortable fit. The removable keeper provides easy attachment to any dive mask.

An easy technique that works with all types of snorkels! You need to blow the water out through the tube by exhaling sharply when resurfacing. If your snorkel has a purge valve, the water will flow out over that valve as well making the clearing faster. Displacement clear This set from Cressi includes the highly rated and very popular Cressi Big Eyes Evolution mask and Cressi's Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel. A top quality Mask and Snorkel combination suitable for Scuba Diving or Snorkelling. The Big Eyes mask has been around for years, worn by divers and snorkellers alike and is perhaps one of the best known masks within Cressi's extensive range. This offer excludes large items (Kayaks, SUP,canoes, waterski’s) and hazardous products, lift rafts, distress flares, electronics.Crafted with a flexible, corrugated tube, the Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel is designed to minimize jaw fatigue, offering a more comfortable snorkeling experience. The flexible tube allows the mouthpiece to drop away when not in use, which makes it a fantastic choice for scuba divers. The traditional model is technically a simple tube with a mouthpiece at the end. Usually, these classic models are not so ergonomic because of the fixed mouthpiece. Alternatively, if you don’t manage to clear your snorkel using this method and water conditions allow, stay horizontally in the water, raise your head out, remove the mouthpiece and let the water simply flow out. This patented fresh air system guarantees that only fresh air will enter your lungs and prevents inhaling used air containing CO2. The one-way valve opens for inhales only and keeps water out. Like this, you can stop worrying about gulping water. Traditional open-tube versions are still in use and work perfectly for certain types of divers, but since water can get into easily, for a safe and comfortable snorkeling experience we recommend using a dry snorkel that won’t let any water enter the tube. What are the different types of snorkels?

Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel helps you breath with confidence and explore the underwater world. The Alpha dry has been streamlined to reduce drag from the water and as the name suggests it is great for snorkelling, keeping the water out of the snorkel when diving below the surface. The Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel has a patented valve in the top of the snorkel which closes when under the water preventing water from entering. A drain purge valve also means any splashes of water entering the snorkel while at the surface are easily cleared. The elliptical shape of the snorkel tube; the mouthpiece angled for comfort in the mouth; the bottom section including the purge valve angled for improved drainage; all these features combine to encourage optimal positioning and comfort when in use. The Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel is designed specifically to be worn on the Left hand side of the mask/face (as are the majority of snorkels). Manufacturers often include a release button or clip that allows you to disconnect the snorkel from your mask at the end of your dive. These mechanisms are sometimes very easy to handle and your snorkel can be disconnected with one hand, and other times it takes a little finagling. Of all the pieces that make up a dry snorkel, the mouthpiece is often the first to go. Constantly chomping down on a little piece of silicone can cause it to wear over time, and possibly break. However, most of the best dry snorkels will also feature a removable mouthpiece. This allows you to replace the silicone mouthpiece if you accidentally bite through it over time. Replacement mouthpieces are usually available directly from the manufacturer. The snorkel comes with a high-quality silicone mouthpiece, which is not only comfortable but also removable and replaceable for enhanced durability. The mouthpiece is angled to further reduce jaw fatigue, showing the thoughtful design of this product.Remember that the tube diameter, along with other key features, also fluctuates between snorkel types. Be sure to review a breakdown of different snorkel types to ensure that a dry snorkel is right for you. The mouthpiece is one of the most personal choices you’ll have to make when you’re looking for the best snorkel. Since it fits in the mouth, it’s especially important to pay attention to the shape and materials of the product. Closely inspect the mouthpiece to ensure it’s made of a soft, durable material that won’t stretch your lips or scratch the delicate mouth tissue. Also, decide if an adjustable mouthpiece is important to you as some come with hinges and ball joints while others are fixed in place. Adjustable mouthpieces usually offer a more comfortable snorkeling experience, but there are some snorkelers who still prefer the simpler, fixed style. Featuring a patented valve in the top of the Ultra Dry snorkel which closes off once sufficient water pressure reacts the valve/floats react when under the water helping to prevent water from entering. A bottom drain purge valve also means any potential water entering the snorkel while snorkelling on the surface can be more easily cleared. The Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel has a streamlined design to reduce drag from the water and as the name suggests it is great for snorkelling. The flexible, corrugated silicone section and soft silicone mouthpiece ensure the ideal positioning and comfort during use.
