What’s the difference between the high-grade PC plastic and Japan Teijin PC plastic?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Emily. The high-grade PC plastic and Japan Teijin PC plastic are essentially the same material. Teijin is a renowned Japanese company that specializes in the production of high-quality plastics. In this case, the VDive SN-08 uses Teijin’s PC plastic for its durability and impact resistance. The difference lies in the quality of the material and the manufacturing process used by Teijin. Japan Teijin PC plastic is known for its exceptional strength, lightness, and resistance to impact, making it an ideal choice for snorkeling gear. I hope this helps clarify things!

I’ve been putting it to use in our Singaporean reefs. How do you fit the silicone mouthpiece so it doesn’t lose its shape or get damaged?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the VDive SN-08. To ensure the silicone mouthpiece maintains its shape and doesn’t get damaged, we recommend removing it from the snorkel when not in use. Cleaning the mouthpiece with mild soap and water after each use is also essential. For added protection, you can store the silicone mouthpiece in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help prolong its lifespan. Is this helpful? We’d be happy to hear more about your snorkeling experiences!

Can you confirm that the VDive SN-08 is compatible with snorkeling masks from other brands?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your inquiry about the VDive SN-08 Tank Semi-Dry Snorkel. I’m happy to help with that. While the product description doesn’t explicitly mention compatibility with snorkeling masks from other brands, it’s generally true that our semi-dry snorkels are compatible with most standard snorkeling masks on the market. However, I would like to clarify that the Secure System Valve will provide optimal water release when paired with a VDive mask. For any other brand mask, further adjustments may be needed to find the most suitable water release setting. Please note that the user manual comes with specific advice for mask pairing.

I was a bit disappointed with the size of the snorkel, it is a bit too large for me.

Can anyone confirm if the Two-color technology Double injection is good for impact resistance and what are the PC plastic materials used?

The top row of the snorkel is made from high-grade PC plastic, which is sourced from Japan’s Teijin PC plastic. This material is known for its high impact safety and durability. For any further clarification or specific details about our products, please feel free to ask. Best regards to fellow users with snorkeling experience.

Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Remy. The VDive SN-08 is designed to be user-friendly and is suitable for beginners who are new to snorkeling. This semi-dry snorkel features a high-grade PC plastic impact-resistant material for the tank and a soft elastic PVC pipe, providing a secure and comfortable snorkeling experience. The advanced silicone mouthpiece also offers comfort and ease of use. Regarding underwater visibility, this snorkel is designed to minimize water entry, providing a clear view underwater. However, please note that water clarity and visibility may still be affected by factors like sea conditions and personal snorkeling technique. I would be happy to provide more information on snorkeling techniques or other products if you’re interested.

I used the VDive SN-08 during my recent snorkeling trip to the Philippines and it performed exceptionally well. The semi-dry design kept water out of the snorkel tube, allowing me to stay above water with ease.

The VDive SN-08 Tank Semi-Dry Snorkel exceeded my expectations! The matte high texture is very durable and gives a comfortable grip. I also loved how the advanced silicone mouthpiece emphasized comfort – it’s truly ergonomic design is a game changer! The only thing that prevented it from being a full 5-star review is that the snorkel can get a bit hot when I’m snorkeled for extended periods.
