I personally have tested a multitude of fins, masks, and snorkels during my time as a spear fisherman, scuba diver, free diver, and of course….snorkeler! And since our daughters were born and quickly took to the water I now get to test even more equipment. We literally have two large boxes out in our garage of masks, fins and snorkels. Just for the record, I did not get anything free or discounted for my reviews. I bought them on desertcart or a dive store just like you. There are two snorkeling snorkels that consistently get top reviews so I bought them both to compare. The Sherwood Tiga Dry Snorkel vs. the Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry. With one difference they are the same. They are both GREAT snorkels! They breathe great in all positions. They have comfortable mouth pieces. They're great. But no matter how many times I tell the kids to keep the snorkels out of the sand, they get sand in the snorkels. And that is the problem between these two. The purge valves on the bottom of the snorkels are both protected but as you can see in my attached photos the Cressi has tiny holes and the Sherwood has larger, longer slits. Sand and tiny shells get caught in the tiny holes but not in the larger, longer slits on the Sherwood. Simple as that. I was able to carefully remove the plastic piece with the tiny holes to clean out the chamber but it was really difficult and I had to be careful to not break the plastic. It wasn't easy but I was able to to it. So bottom line. Save yourself some cleaning time and buy the Sherwood. If you're wondering about the title I gave this review the answer is that you should use a non-dry snorkel for Scuba diving. Dry snorkels are buoyant underwater and they are too bulky and can cause more drag and may cause them to pull on your mask more than a streamlined non-dry snorkel. Bonus tip for women and anyone with long hair. Replace the mask clip on your snorkel with a Silicone Snorkel Keeper. Mask clips almost always get caught in your hair. The keepers won't. I have bought these and they work great. Scuba Choice Scuba Diving Snorkeling Silicone Snorkel Keeper, Clear Review: A fine dry snorkel - The yellow/clear version is not a neon-ish yellow like their stock photo, but the solid standard yellow that you can see better on their yellow/black version; I think they probably have the same upper portion, just with the lower piece swapped out for a translucent hose. Didn't have a problem with the top sticking in my limited use so far. I think the trick is to always blow out first when you stick the snorkel (or any snorkel for that matter) above the surface, which is what we are taught to do in a scuba class. Other standard techniques are to not lean your head back too far when on your back, or else you'll submerge the snorkel and not be able to breathe again. Occasionally water may pool a bit in your purge valve area, so just blow out a burst of air (possibly a few times) to purge it. And lastly, if a bit of water is in your snorkel and you're trying to breathe, you can stick the tip of your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and in front of the hole a bit to block some of the water while breathing in gently, so the air goes around your tongue while any water may pool in the bottom of your mouth, and then purge all of that with your next breathe. For whatever reason, mine was a little scuffed on the yellow when I unpacked it (see photo), as if someone had been rubbing the strap clip up and down the shaft a lot; hope it truly was new as claimed. Also it comes shipped in a simple ziploc-like plastic bag that opens very easily, so if desertcart screws up the padding of your item, it could easily come flying out of the bag and rattle around in your box while in transit. ## Features - The Alpha Ultra Dry makes any snorkeling activity easy thanks to the different features that help prevent water from entering the tube. - Features a float mechanism which closes instantly to prevent water from entering the snorkel whether accidentally or purposely submerged. - The snorkel has a highly flexible tube that reduces jaw fatigue and folds compactly for storing in a BC pocket or travel pack. - A wider elliptical bore shape increases air flow capacity for more comfortable breathing and a purge valve enables instant clearing when needed. - It is made in Italy in 100% high quality silicone, a better material and longer lasting than plastic PVC. - The Alpha Ultra Dry is designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi, a brand pioneer in scuba, snorkeling, and swimming equipment since 1946. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BX51IJ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #114,095 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #63 in Diving Snorkels | | Brand Name | Cressi | | Color | Black/Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (332) | | Date First Available | March 20, 2013 | | Included Components | Dry Snorkels | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 14 x 4 x 1 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 17.01 x 4.88 x 1.73 inches | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Cressi | | Material | Various | | Model Name | Cressi Alpha Ultra Dry, Black/Yellow | | Model Year | 2013 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Part Number | ES258051 | | Size | Alpha Ultra Dry - clear/yellow | | Sport Type | Outdoor Lifestyle | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | The product is covered by a 2-year limited warranty. | ## Images ![Foldable Adult Dry Snorkel for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling | Alpha Ultra Dry Made in Italy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614uaNRtv0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Dry Snorkel for Snorkeling (Not Scuba Diving). *by E***W on July 25, 2016* We just got back from two weeks in the beautiful Caribbean and my family of four compared snorkels.

Very durable and well made product. The seal is air tight when submerged and the purge valves worked wonders. The mouthpiece is quite comfortable and has a great flexibility to it. This also has a sleek design to it which just adds to the appeal! A+ Cressi! I'm one happy snorkeler! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cressi Foldable Adult Dry Snorkel for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling | Alpha Ultra Dry Made in Italy - Cressi Neoprene Mask Strap Cover - Comfortable Cover for Diving Mask, Ideal for Long Hair or for Identification - Cressi Scuba Diving Masks with Inclined Tear Drop Lenses for More Downward Visibility , Air and Eyes Evolution: Made in Italy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2705443-foldable-adult-dry-snorkel-for-scuba-diving-snorkeling-alpha-ultra](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2705443-foldable-adult-dry-snorkel-for-scuba-diving-snorkeling-alpha-ultra) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
