CRESSIAdult Diving Dry Snorkel with Splash Guard and Top Valve - Supernova Dry: Designed in Italy

Very convenient snorkel, well made, and lasts a long time. Cannot believe I bought mine 8 years ago! Just used it yesterday for more lake snorkeling, as I do every summer + took it on a couple trips to Hawai over the years. It lets you dive and upon resurfacing you just breathe out fast to expel the water. Soft clear plastic part did turn yellow over time, but the thing still works like new, membrane never leaks, etc.

This is the second Cressi snorkel I have purchased and am now reviewing. The first one was the more expensive, so supposedly better, Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry, and I reviewed that snorkel here:https://www.amazon.com/review/R3O2ULYGVZ6VDC/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BX51IUCIn a nutshell, I was not happy with it because for some reason, while using it extensively for a week in Bonaire, I found that it was letting some water in when less expensive snorkels I had used in the past did not.I was still confident in the Cressi brand, so after returning it, I replaced it with the Cressi Supernova Dry Snorkel that I am reviewing here. I am only submitting this review now, several months after my purchase, because I did not have the opportunity to try it out until just now. I am happy to report that for me, this less expensive snorkel in the Cressi line, actually works better. I used it under various conditions over several days recently, and not once did I have the water intrusion problem that I had with the "better" Cressi snorkel. (To be fair, my wife is still using the better model, and she did not have the issues I had.)This Cressi Supernova snorkel works as a good snorkel should. The detachable clip makes it easy to attach and detach it from your snorkel mask. It simply does not allow water in while you are snorkeling. You can free-dive with it, and when you surface there is not water that needs to be cleared, or at least there wasn't for me the few times I free-dove with it. The mouth piece is comfortable.All in all, I am very pleased with this snorkel.If you found this review helpful, it would be great if you said so by clicking on the “Yes” button below.

Thus far, it’s been used in a pool to test it out and everything went well. For comparison, we used Cressi masks in the pool with the snorkel but did not love the masks. One of the masks even broke as it was cheaply made.We like the different color options so that they are never shared. The mouthpiece was never uncomfortable, and the water was easy to get rid of if it got inside the tube.

Used this in the Caribbean for snorkeling instead of using one of the rentable ones and it worked great. Was very comfortable connected to my face mask. Prevented water from getting into the mouth piece. Construction seemed high quality and didn't feel cheap like some other snorkles. Definitely wash it before your trip... Maybe a few times to make sure there's no chemical taste or smell.

Works well in the water

I recently took the plunge and bought the Cressi Adult Diving Dry Snorkel with Splash Guard and Top Valve, affectionately dubbed the Supernova Dry. First off, let me just say that this snorkel has the aesthetic charm of a sleek Italian sports car—if that car were designed to help you breathe underwater while looking like a complete goofball.The first time I tried it out, I felt like a majestic dolphin. I mean, who wouldn’t want to channel their inner aquatic creature? The splash guard does an admirable job of keeping water out, which is great unless you decide to dive into the middle of a wave. Then it’s like your snorkel has just given up on you, saying, “Good luck with that, buddy!” But hey, I came prepared with some impressive snorting sounds when I inevitably inhaled a mouthful of seawater.The top valve is a game-changer; it’s like a bouncer for your snorkel, only letting in the good stuff (read: air). I was ready to take on the underwater world until I realized that my inability to equalize my ears was a bigger issue than I’d anticipated. There I was, floating like a potato with a snorkel, wondering if I should’ve just invested in a bubble wand instead.Comfort-wise, the mouthpiece feels like a cozy little pillow for your teeth, which is crucial if you plan to spend hours trying to identify fish and not just your own reflection. Speaking of which, I did find myself practicing my best “I’m definitely not panicking” face in the mirror before heading out. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out well.In summary, the Cressi Supernova Dry snorkel is a fantastic way to explore the underwater world—unless you’re me, in which case it’s a hilarious adventure filled with awkward moments, questionable breathing techniques, and the occasional fish that probably questioned my life choices. If you’re looking for a snorkel that works and makes you look like a swimming superstar (or at least a really enthusiastic seal), this is the one for you. Just remember to bring a sense of humor along with your flippers!

I love this snorkel, it keeps the water out and I can blow out the water easily when I surface from my free dives. High quality product that you can expect from Cressi. I'm very happy with this purchase.

This snorkel is amazing. Easy to attach to your goggles and when the tip goes underwater not a single drop of water gets to the mouthpiece. The valve in it works great. I'm very satisfied with this snorkel.

Lo combiné con la máscara Cressi y mi ahora mi kit de snorkel es perfecto. Con este tubo te puedes sumergir por completo que no entrará nada de agua. Excelente relación calidad-precio, no hace falta gastar mas dinero que este en otro ya que es muy eficaz. 100% recomendable

Muy buen producto, se mantiene seco, no entra el agua y puedes nadar superficial o sumergirte y salir a respirar sin ningún problema, súper recomendable

Muy bien el material y la construcción, funciona perfecto

Graças a Deus chegou, super em tempo! Produto ótimo, como muitos da Cressi. Será muito útil!
