The Wet Snorkel
A wet snorkel is a classic snorkel that goes back hundreds of years. In its purest form, it is a reed or a tube. Today the simple ones are a mouthpiece with a plastic tube. Similar to dry snorkels, some will have a two-part breathing tube, and often, the mouthpieces will have a reservoir and purge valve. With no protection to the breathing tube, you will get some water coming in if a wave splashes over it. However, this is not a problem for experienced snorkel users who can deal with the water easily.
A wet snorkel like the
Tidal Roll Up Snorkel
is ideal for scuba divers and snorkellers who freedive and explore underwater. On the surface, the snorkel can be used as normal, then removed and placed in a pocket while scuba diving. Or, if you are freediving, you can just keep the snorkel in your mouth while underwater.
The Dry Snorkel
The dry snorkel is the perfect choice if you want peace of mind when snorkeling and are concerned about water entering your breathing tube. The basic dry snorkel consists of three parts, a mouthpiece, the breathing tube, and a dry valve (one-way valve) at the top of the breathing tube.
The main benefit of using a dry snorkel like the

is that your breathing tube is protected. The dry valve closes the breathing tube off whenever it comes into contact with water. This means that no water will enter the breathing tube if you dive underwater or a wave breaks over your snorkel.
Two Steps to Improve Your Snorkeling
If you want to get serious about your snorkeling, you can do a couple of things that will take your snorkeling to the next level, regardless of whether you use a wet or a dry snorkel. You need to master clearing your snorkel and perfect your airway control.
Airway Control
There is nothing worse than enjoying your time snorkeling then inhaling and getting a lung full of water. However, if you have good airway control, this should not be an issue. In fact, if you have excellent airway control, you can breathe from a snorkel that has some water in it since your control allows you to breathe past the water.
How the Dry Valve works
The mechanism is essentially a float valve. Generally, the device contains a buoyant ball that floats on the water's surface. With the dry valve above the water, the ball is down, allowing you to breathe past it. As the valve descends underwater, the ball rises inside the device; since it is larger than the opening of the valve, it blocks it, sealing it shut and preventing any water from entering.
This feature makes a dry snorkel incompatible with scuba diving and free diving since the device creates a significant amount of positive buoyancy, which will pull and drag on your mask as you try to descend.
