Go Deep Freediving Snorkel

The Go Deep Freediving Snorkel

The Go Deep silicone freediving snorkel will be your last freediving snorkel. This freediving snorkel has all the right qualities you would search for and need in a snorkel.

The freediving snorkel is made from a high-grade silicone material, making the snorkel and mouthpiece dirt-resistant, flexible, safe, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and odorless.

The tube is lightweight and flexible. Its pipe diameter is 22mm, which is nice and wide. Thus, there isn’t much air resistance while breathing and the soft mouthpiece makes breathing comfortable.

The silicone snorkel has a flexible clip that can help mount it to the mask strap. However, most freedivers carry the snorkel underneath the mask strap against their hood.

This silicone freediving snorkel can be used for fun and straightforward snorkeling and performance training.

 

Important Safety Considerations for Snorkels and Freediving

This is not directly related to the quality of this snorkel, but as a dive center, we worry about the many people we see in videos still carrying their snorkels in their mouths while freediving. Please always take your snorkel out while diving down.

Freedivers use a snorkel to breathe calmly and comfortably on the surface. We don’t breathe underwater, so there is no need for a snorkel.

The 3 main reasons to take out your snorkel while freediving!

1) Keeping your snorkel in your mouth complicates equalization. Sticking your tongue against the snorkel mouthpiece to prevent water from running into your mouth makes all forms of equalization more difficult. Your objective with equalization should be relaxation, and sticking your tongue in your mouthpiece is not relaxing.

Then, for safety considerations!

2) Purging your freediving snorkel on the surface can lead to a blackout. When you reach the surface, your snorkel is filled with water. To breathe, you need to purge the water forcefully from your snorkel, and the sudden pressure drop in the lungs can lead to a blackout.

3) At depth, or when you break the surface and are diving at your limit, the brain might think that the mouth is open and could (unconsciously) inhale, and thus, you would inhale all the water in your snorkel.

Stay safe, never freedive with a snorkel in your mouth!
