What is the recommended depth range for the VDive snorkel?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for choosing the VDive SN-02-C8 – Tro Purge Semi-Dry Snorkel. The recommended depth range for this snorkel is 1-15 feet (0.3-4.5 meters) below the water’s surface. This ensures optimal performance and prevents water from entering the snorkel. Please consult the product manual for more information or contact us if you have any further questions.
Sharenna Mohan –
Will it handle strong waves? Can I use it in cold water? What is the material made of? Is it good for kids?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your questions about the VDive SN-02-C8 Tro Purge Semi-Dry Snorkel. Regarding your first question, our snorkel can handle moderate waves, but we strongly recommend to use it in calm conditions for best performance. The material used is made of high-quality silicone for the mouthpiece and tube, and stainless steel for the metal parts, ensuring durability and resistance to saltwater. It is not designed for use in cold water as it can cause the silicone to become brittle. As for the suitability for kids, the snorkel is designed for adults and children over 8 years old. Please keep in mind that snorkeling with kids should always be under adult supervision.

I recently purchased the VDive snorkel and I must say it’s amazing! The quality is top-notch and it’s so easy to use. I’ve taken it on several dives and it’s performed flawlessly. My only suggestion is to include a carrying case or pouch for easier travel.

This snorkel exceeded my expectations! The purge valve is super easy to use and the dry design keeps my gear dry even in choppy waters.
Hannah Yap –
Does it come in different colors? Can I use it for scuba diving? Is it recommended for beginners?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Hannah! Unfortunately, our current inventory only comes in one color: a sleek black finish. However, we’d be happy to pass along your request for additional color options to our product team! As for scuba diving, please note that this snorkel is designed for snorkeling activities only and is not suitable for scuba diving due to its semi-dry design and materials used. We do offer a full-face snorkel mask designed for scuba diving, which you can find on our website. Finally, our Tro Purge Semi-Dry Snorkel is a beginner-friendly option, as it’s easy to use and provides a comfortable, splash-free snorkeling experience. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! – The VDive Team.

The VDive SN-02-C8 has been my go-to snorkel for diving trips to the Maldives and Thailand. I appreciate its reliability and ease of use. However, I’ve noticed a slight leak after prolonged use.
Maya Tan –
Can I use the VDive snorkel for diving as well?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out about your question regarding the VDive SN-02-C8 Tro Purge Semi-Dry Snorkel. While it is called a ‘snorkel,’ it’s essential to note that this model is not specifically designed for diving. It’s a semi-dry snorkel, which means it’s meant for surface swimming and snorkeling activities. However, if you’re looking for a snorkel that can handle deeper water and the pressures associated with scuba diving, we’d recommend exploring one of our other options. Would you like to discuss further or explore our scuba-specific snorkel options?
