I’ve been using the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel for a few weeks now, and I must say I’m thoroughly impressed. The semi-dry snorkel is a game-changer for me, as it allows me to snorkel with ease and not worry about water entering the mask. The build quality is top-notch, and the valve works exactly as expected. I love the flexibility of adjusting the snorkel’s length to suit my needs. I highly recommend this product to all snorkeling enthusiasts out there! The only thing I wish they had included was a carrying pouch or case, but that’s a minor complaint. Overall, a fantastic product!

I’m pleased to inform you that VDive is committed to environmental sustainability.

For future products, I suggest checking our website or contacting VDive customer service for more information on any potential eco-friendly initiatives.

This VDive Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel exceeded my expectations. The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to wear, and the dual-valve technology ensures minimal water entry.
Bianca Foo –
I recently bought the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel and I’m a bit disappointed. The snorkel seems to leak water even when the valve is closed, which is really frustrating. The build quality also feels a bit flimsy, and I’m not sure how long it will last. That being said, the color is really cool, and it does look pretty stylish.
Lawrence Wong –
Can the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel be used for swimming laps in a pool?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Lawrence! While our VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel is designed for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world, it can indeed be used for swimming laps in a pool. However, please note that it’s not designed for lap swimming or high-intensity activities as it’s primarily a snorkeling device. Its unique design focuses on minimizing water entry during surfacing or diving, which is perfect for snorkeling but might not provide the same level of comfort during prolonged swimming sessions in a pool. If you do decide to use it for swimming laps, we recommend regularly cleaning and rinsing the snorkel to prevent any buildup of debris or bacteria. We appreciate your interest in our product and hope this helps you make an informed decision!

Will the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel stay dry in waters with very strong tides?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel. While the Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel is designed to provide a comfortable snorkeling experience, it’s essential to note that no snorkel can prevent water from entering under extreme conditions like very strong tides. However, the snorkel’s semi-dry design does an excellent job of reducing water entry, making it an excellent choice for snorkeling in various conditions. To minimize water entry, we recommend using the snorkel correctly, as instructed in the user manual, and snorkeling during periods of lower tides. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for choosing our product.

Can the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel be used for freediving?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about using the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel for freediving. Unfortunately, our snorkel is designed specifically for recreational snorkeling and is not intended for freediving. Freediving requires specialized equipment that can handle depths and pressures beyond what our snorkel is designed for. We recommend using our snorkel for surface-level snorkeling and exploring the underwater world in a safe and enjoyable way.

How does the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel compare to other semi-dry snorkels on the market?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your interest in comparing the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel with other semi-dry snorkels on the market. We appreciate your feedback.

Clement Tung –
The VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel is a dream to use. It kept my face dry and comfortable in waters that were quite choppy. I could stay underwater for longer periods without discomfort.
Kevin Tan –
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel being noisy. Can anyone confirm this?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Kevin, thank you for your question about our VDive SN11 – Navi Semi-Dry Snorkel’s noise level. We’ve received some feedback from customers on this topic, and it seems that some users have experienced noise, while others haven’t had any issues. Our design team has implemented a noise reduction system in this product, but we understand that user experience can vary. If you have further questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to ask. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you! 6 months ago I personally went out into the waters and did snorkel test. The noise this snorkel product makes are equivalent to having water droplets falling on your ear roughly. I know that some people can sense it but, it would be hard for people to define whether it’s the snorkel itself making that noise or just the sound of the water. Usually, this isn’t found to be an issue for most people.
