Good snorkel and good value

The snorkel worked well, no failures during the week's trip. The water did not enter, although the sea was rather choppy and windy; The mouthpiece is comfortable enough, the vent valve works, and it's not as heavy as other whistles, especially with a dry valve, which I don't think anyone needs.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not the best

I would prefer the phantom tube to other tubes.

I like the phantom tube, it is light, flexible, easily blows out excess water and does not flow. I would definitely recommend a phantom snorkel for snorkeling or even deep diving. Compared to another tube I ordered. It is very difficult to blow off and retain excess water. I drank almost the whole ocean.๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Operating speed

So far so good for diving and snorkeling

Appears to be of good quality. It looks exactly like the Cressi pipe I bought. I bought this to see if I liked it better than the Cressie Dry pipe. I seem to get out of breath when I use the Cressie Dry whistle so this is an experiment to see if it was a whistle or if I'm just out of shape! LAUGH OUT LOUD! I've read that some people have had shortness of breath when using a dry snorkel. I will be using this in about 8 weeks. So if I run into any problems I'll update this.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Great snorkel, very comfortable

Just tested snorkeling at Barton Spring Pool. Very good snorkel. Pleasant in the mouth, I liked the flexible tube. This made it easier to set up and get the right angle. The quick release clip is another nice touch. It easily attaches to my mask. When setting up, first remove the quick release. Then thread the mask strap through the clip. Finally, reattach the pipe to the clamp. It is easier. It was very easy for me to clean the hose down after diving. The water drained out of the bottom valveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • I don't remember

Used for the first time this weekend and everything went great. The snorkel has an ergonomic design that allows you to wear it only on the left side, which is a good reminder when diving (my case). The flushing system works well and definitely less water coming in than my other fully open one. In fact, it could also be the length, which bothered me a bit. It's a bit long and because it has a flexible silicone part it moves a lot and sometimes bothered me when preparing for a dive. What I likedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Very good water sports snorkel

I had an early 2000's US Divers snorkel that I ended up wanting to replace. Since we go snorkeling every year, I wanted to get something nice. After doing a bit of research, I found that dry pipes are all the rage these days, so I originally wanted to buy one. The Phantom Aquatics gear had good reviews and in the end I decided I didn't want a dry snorkel; I've read reviews that they can be a bit restrictive. I chose this one and am very happy with it. It took me a few tries to figure outโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Problems

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 downโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some difficulties
