The cost of a snorkel can vary widely depending on factors such as material and brand reputation. A basic plastic snorkel can start as low as $20, while good quality snorkels from reputable brands can range from $50 to $90 or more. Features like dry tops and purge valves often contribute to a higher price point.
Types of Snorkels
There are several types of snorkels available for snorkelling, scuba diving or spearfishing. Most snorkels designed for recreational snorkelling will have a one way valve under the mouthpiece to help the user expel any water that may enter. Several also feature a dry top designed that prevents water from entering the snorkel when you duck dive under the water or are snorkelling in rough water.
