I didn’t get to use the Mares Element Snorkel as much as I wanted to. I borrowed it from a friend and he claimed it was a real ‘lifesaver’ during a dive. Can you share any tips on how to properly clean this snorkel?

Hi Nathaniel, thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Element Snorkel. We’re glad you’re interested in learning more about cleaning your snorkel. The Mares Element Snorkel is relatively easy to clean due to its soft tube design. For cleaning, you can use warm soapy water and gently rub the tube and mouthpiece with your hand. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the silicone. Regular cleaning will ensure your snorkel remains in good condition and breathe smoothly.

I recently used the Mares Element Snorkel during my scuba diving trip and I must say it’s one of the best snorkels I’ve ever used. The soft tube makes breathing effortless and the silicone mouthpiece is super comfy. I wish it came with a case or pouch for easier storage and transport. Overall, it’s a solid product that’s definitely worth the investment.

The Mares Element Snorkel is quite pricey, but I believe it’s an investment worth making. I’ve been a fan of Mares for a while, and this product does not disappoint. Minimal design, silky-smooth breathing… is it possible to get this snorkel in a stylish mint hue?

Thank you for your honest review and for choosing the Mares Element Snorkel! We’re thrilled to hear that it’s met your expectations. As for your question, we’ll make sure to forward your suggestion to our design team. While we don’t currently offer a mint hue, we’ll take this into consideration for future product developments. Thank you for being a valued customer, and we’re glad you’ve been satisfied with our products so far.

How do you think the Mares Element Snorkel will hold up to aggressive marine life? Some friends of mine are hesitant to purchase it due to concerns about damage from sharp coral or jellyfish stings. Should we just stick to rigid tube snorkels?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Cameron! We appreciate your concern about the Mares Element Snorkel’s durability. The Element snorkel is designed with a soft, flexible tube that is resistant to scratches and other minor damages. However, like any flexible tube, it may not be the best option for areas with extremely sharp coral or aggressive marine life. That being said, many customers have used the Element snorkel in Coral Reef environments with great success. If you’re unsure, you might consider using a mask or dive skin to protect the snorkel from potential damage. We do offer a rigid snorkel option if you’re looking for extra protection, which would be a good choice for areas with sharp coral or other hazards. I hope this information helps you make a decision, and please let us know if you have any other questions!

What if I told you that the Mares Element Snorkel is not just a snorkel, but a game-changer in the world of water sports? With its soft tube design, effortless breathing is no longer a mere dream. Has anyone experienced any issues with the snorkel’s durability in harsh underwater conditions?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with the Mares Element Snorkel, Angelina! We’re thrilled to hear it’s been a game-changer for you. As for your question about durability, we’ve had some customers report great results in harsh underwater conditions, but we did experience a few instances of minor damage to the soft tube. However, this was generally due to user error or extreme exposure to currents/predator attacks. In general, Mares Element Snorkels are designed to be highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. That being said, we encourage you to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and usage to get the most out of your snorkel. Would you like to share more about your experiences or ask any follow-up questions?

One of the best snorkels I own now! Mares Element is a total blow out for fellow scubas. Good news for beginners, quite hard to shake the snorkel out. Would have rated 5 out of 5 stars if it wasn’t for the occasional leak with over-enthusiastic mouth actions. Well worth the price, nonetheless.
