The benefits of dry snorkels when used on the water surface include the following:
1. Preventing water ingress: Dry snorkels are designed with mechanisms to prevent water from entering the tube, such as one-way inlet valves and buoyant closure valves, which keep the inside of the snorkel dry even in choppy water, providing a more comfortable breathing experience.
2. Suitable for beginners: For beginners who are not used to swimming or snorkeling in the sea, the dry snorkel prevents water from splashing in and reduces the risk of choking, making breathing easier.
3. Increase safety: The valve design of the dry snorkel can be closed automatically when diving, preventing water from entering and increasing the safety of diving.
4. Reduced breathing resistance: Although the dry snorkel has a slightly increased inhalation resistance compared to the wet snorkel, it still has less resistance than the semi-dry snorkel, providing smoother breathing.
5. Stylish design: Dry breathing tubes usually have a stylish and trendy design, as well as a unique suction head design that prevents waves from pouring into the breathing tube from the top to the bottom.
6. Physical Effort: Using a dry snorkel can save physical effort during the surface phase as it allows the user to breathe easily on the surface without having to lift their head frequently to change air.
7. Ideal for long periods of time at the surface: For activities that require longer periods of time at the surface, such as observing marine life, a dry snorkel reduces the number of times the snorkel needs to be cleaned out frequently due to ingress of water into the snorkel.
8. Adaptable: Dry breathing tubes are suitable for a variety of surface conditions, providing stable respiratory support in both calm and windy environments.
To summarize, dry snorkels offer a number of benefits when used on the surface, and are particularly suitable for beginners and for use in windy and choppy conditions on the surface.
