What is the difference between this and the Mares Dual Dry Snorkel? Is there a real difference between the two?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the Mares Dual Basic Snorkel, Jasmine. To answer your question, the main difference between the Mares Dual Basic Snorkel and the Mares Dual Dry Snorkel is the breathing system. The Mares Dual Dry Snorkel has a dry top valve that prevents water from entering the snorkel, whereas the Mares Dual Basic Snorkel has a more basic design without this feature. This means that with the Basic Snorkel, you may need to clear the water out of the snorkel during a dive, whereas the Dual Dry Snorkel keeps the snorkel dry at all times. Both snorkels have the hypoallergenic silicone mouthpiece that you mentioned, and are suitable for prolonged use. I hope this helps clarify the difference for you. Is there anything else I can help you with, or would you like to hear from other customers who have purchased this snorkel?

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the anatomic and hydrodynamic design really worked for me. Snorkeling was much more enjoyable!

Does this snorkel come in different sizes? I wish it did, as I found it a bit too small for my mouth.

I enjoyed snorkeling with the Mares Dual Basic Snorkel the most when I did it in tropical waters. It fit perfectly and allowed for easy breathing.

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of getting a dry snorkel vs the basic one? Which do you recommend?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Samantha Seah. The Mares Dual Basic Snorkel is a great choice for snorkeling, but if you’re deciding between a dry snorkel and a basic one, it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and snorkeling style. A dry snorkel can be beneficial in reducing the amount of water entering the snorkel, making it easier to breathe and less likely to get water up the tube. However, dry snorkels can sometimes make it harder to clear the snorkel when you’re coming up to the surface. Basic snorkels, on the other hand, are often lighter and less cumbersome. As for a recommendation, I would suggest trying out a dry snorkel first if you’re expecting to snorkel in choppy or wavy conditions. But if you’re just starting out or prefer a more minimalist setup, a basic snorkel might be the way to go. I hope this helps!
