Review on 🀿 Enhanced Dive Experience: Unveiling the Phantom Aquatics Semi-Dry Snorkel by Brian Rogel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to clean and get full breath.

I used it for snorkeling for a week and fell in love.1. For me, having a good tube that suits my needs is very important due to some medical issues. In the past I've had a lot of trouble getting enough air when using desiccant hoses, which was one of the reasons I decided to try semi-dry desiccant hoses. I have asthma and lung capacity issues so being able to breathe fully is very important. It was very easy to breathe. It's also great at draining. Small splashes and spray flowed down effortlessly and no water entered my mouth. A couple of times when part of the water went down due to a bigger wave, or once when I went under, it was easy to blow all the water out with one forceful breath, despite my breathing problems. 2. I have very sensitive gums, a small mouth and a temporomandibular joint. Flex hoses are a dream and I would never use a snorkel without flex hoses. My jaw didn't hurt at all even after more than an hour of use, and when I start to speak it pops off my face slightly. My parents were jealous and will buy one for themselves next time. Also, the mouthpiece here is a very flexible and soft silicone. I didn't have any cuts or sores, and my teeth didn't hurt, although I had to bite down quite hard at times. I also think it's a really attractive design. Not that it makes much of a difference in the water but I've seen a lot of other snorkels and I think this one looks better than it does. I would 100 percent recommend it as long as it lasts well for at least a few years with good care and normal use, but it seems well made so I have high hopes.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some difficulties
