I’m extremely satisfied with this snorkel. It’s perfect for my frequent snorkeling trips. The quality is top-notch, and the design is both functional and stylish. I appreciate the easy purge system and the splash-guard feature that keeps water from entering at the surface. My only minor complaint is that the swivel snorkel keeper can be a bit tricky to adjust, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me.
Eileen Tan –
Has anyone else noticed that the color of the silicone sections tend to change after being exposed to sunlight? It’s not a deal-breaker, but I wish they would offer a few more color options for the complete kit?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your observation, Eileen. Yes, some of our users have reported that the silicone sections may change color after prolonged exposure to sunlight. We appreciate your suggestion to offer more color options for the complete kit. We’ll definitely consider it for future product updates. In the meantime, our kits are designed to be customizable, so you can always change the color of the inner top piece and lower housing clips to match your preference. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

Is the Problue SN-1030 Vista Snorkel suitable for saltwater diving?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Janelle. The Problue SN-1030 Vista Snorkel is generally suitable for saltwater diving. The product features a splash-guard, which helps prevent water from entering at the surface, and a semi-dry top that reduces water entry into the snorkel. However, please note that saltwater can be corrosive, so make sure to rinse the snorkel thoroughly after each use and store it in a dry place to extend its lifespan. Additionally, the product is made with durable and corrosion-resistant materials, which can help withstand exposure to saltwater.
Jacinth Wong –
Is there a silicone that’s more resistant to degradation when exposed to saltwater? While it’s been okay so far, I’m planning a long snorkeling trip and I want to make sure my gear can handle the harsh conditions?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Jacinth! We appreciate your question about silicone resistance in our Problue SN-1030 Vista Snorkel. Yes, we offer a similar model, the SN-1030B, which has a black silicone flex-section that’s more resistant to degradation when exposed to saltwater. However, if you’re planning a long snorkeling trip, we recommend using a wet storage bag or regularly cleaning your gear to prevent damage from saltwater exposure. Additionally, our AC-77 swivel snorkel keeper provides an easy way to purge the snorkel, helping to prevent mineral buildup. For further information, please check out our website or contact our customer service team. We’d be happy to help you prepare for your trip! Have any other snorkelers had experiences with gear durability?

I’m not sure if I’m entirely impressed with this snorkel. It’s comfortable to use, but the design feels a bit dated. I wish it had better color options for the barrel and housing. Maybe they’ll update it soon. For now, I’ll stick with it, but I’m not entirely sold on it.
Kristy Lum –
I’m having some issues with the retention cap. it feels a bit flimsy and I’m worried it might get lost in the water. Other than that, I’m loving the flexibility of the snorkel. Is it just me, or do you think the retention cap should be more secure?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review of the Problue SN-1030 Vista Snorkel, Kristy. We appreciate your feedback about the retention cap. You’re not alone in having concerns about its flimsiness. We’ve noted your suggestions for a more secure design, and we’ll pass them along to our product development team.
Kevin Wong –
Does the AC-21G mouthpiece provide better breath-hold times compared to the standard AC-21-F mouthpiece?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Kevin. While the AC-21G mouthpiece is a great option for divers, we do not have any direct comparison data on breath-hold times between the AC-21F and AC-21G mouthpieces. However, the AC-21G mouthpiece is designed to be comfortable and ergonomic, which may allow for more relaxed breathing and potentially longer breath-hold times. If you’re looking for more information on this topic, we recommend consulting with a diving expert or referring to diving research studies.
Amanda Ko –
I’ve been using this snorkel for months now and I must say it’s been a great choice! The breathing system is really smooth and the adjustability of the swivel keeper is a nice touch. A minor note, the soft pouch it comes with could be of better quality.
Sooky Wong –
What are your guys’ experiences with the SN-1030B? I’m considering upgrading to this version, but I want to make sure it meets my needs. Are the black silicone and AC-21G mouthpiece improvements worth the upgrade?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for considering the Problue SN-1030B Vista Snorkel. We’ve received great feedback on the upgraded features of the SN-1030B. The black silicone flex-section and AC-21G mouthpiece are indeed popular among our customers, who find them to be comfortable and easy to use. The improvements are cumulative, not drastic, but they may make a big difference to someone looking for a sleeker, more streamlined snorkel. If you have any other questions or would like to hear more about our diver’s experiences, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Nicole Tan –
I’ve used this snorkel for several dives, and I must say, it performs exceptionally well. The crystal silicone fin is a bit stiffer than I would have liked, but it gets the job done. Overall, I’d highly recommend this snorkel to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable option.
