I’m very happy with my purchase of this Problue Dry Top Snorkel, it does an excellent job of keeping water out of the airway during dives. I’ve tried other snorkels, but this one stays clear much better.

Can someone please tell me what is the intended length of the dry tube when disconnected?

I was looking forward to using SN-1279 on my upcoming scuba diving trip. But when I tried it, the snorkel kept fogging up. After multiple attempts at clearing it, I returned it. Fortunately, it’s durable and has good build quality, just wish there was a better option for humid climates.
Amos Phua –
In order to address sea fog, is there an alternative I can opt for if I stay on board? What options are on the main deck?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about your Problue SN-1279 Dry Top Snorkel experience, Amos. While the snorkel is designed to provide a dry snorkelling experience, it’s not suitable for use on the main deck or above the water’s surface. For on-board applications, I would recommend looking into our selection of deck snorkels or dive planes, designed specifically for this purpose. Our ProBlue DS80 Deck Snorkel is a great option, providing a unique deck snorkel system. If you have any further questions or would like more information on our on-board snorkeling solutions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

I recently purchased the Problue SN-1279 Dry Top Snorkel and I’m thoroughly impressed. The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to wear, and the dry top feature has saved me from so many frustrating snorkeling experiences. However, I would have liked the snorkel to come with an additional mouthpiece protector to prevent scratches and damage. Still, an excellent purchase for anyone serious about snorkeling.

The Problue SN-1279 Dry Top Snorkel has honestly exceeded my expectations. The quality is top-notch, and the durability has been impressive. I’ve used it in choppy waters, and the dry top feature has performed flawlessly. However, I would have liked a bit more flexibility in the hose – sometimes it feels a bit stiff. But overall, it’s been a solid addition to my snorkeling gear.
Evelyn Lee –

The Problue SN-1279 Dry Top Snorkel is an excellent addition to any scuba diving kit. Its dry top design prevents water from entering the snorkel, making it a game-changer for divers. I’ve used it on multiple dives and the breath-to-breakfree valve works flawlessly, reducing the effort required to clear the snorkel. The only minor issue I’ve come across is that it can be a bit tricky to install the mouthpiece, but once done, it’s a snug and comfortable fit. Overall, a solid investment for serious snorkelers.
