How Do Snorkels Work?

A snorkel is a tube made of plastic, rubber, or silicone that helps swimmers breathe underwater while keeping their faces submerged. One end of the snorkel features a mouthpiece, and the other extends the swimmer’s airway above the surface of the water.

Most snorkels feature a slight bend or J-shape so you can keep the open end above the surface while you swim. Some models have a float valve at the top to prevent water from entering the tube if you accidentally dip below the surface. Others are open at the top, so you’ll need to clear them by blowing out any water inside before inhaling.

How to Choose and Care for Your Snorkel

Selecting the right snorkel depends on your experience and diving conditions. Beginners benefit from snorkels with purge and float valves that prevent water intake and make clearing easier. Flexible snorkels enhance comfort by conforming to your face shape.

To maintain your snorkel, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each use and allow it to dry completely before storage to prevent mold and mildew. For a deeper clean, use a diluted bleach solution following manufacturer guidelines.
