Product Information
Mares Rebel Dry Snorkel is a dry-top snorkel with a dry top system that keeps water from entering the tube from above, paired with an exhaust valve and a sliding snorkel keeper for a secure fit on the mask strap. A large bottom housing with increased internal volume is engineered to provide optimum comfort while breathing, on the surface or between dives.
Who it is for
The Rebel Dry suits divers and snorkelers who want to breathe easily at the surface without taking on water from waves or splash, including long surface swims, boat waits, and extended snorkeling sessions where staying dry at the mouthpiece matters. The snorkel uses a corrugated silicone hose and mouthpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dry, semi-dry, and classic snorkel?
A classic open-top snorkel is a simple tube, the most reliable design, but it takes on water when a wave passes or you duck under. A semi-dry snorkel adds a splash guard at the top that deflects surface chop, though it still floods if fully submerged. A dry snorkel adds a float-operated valve that closes the top when submerged and keeps the tube mostly dry, at the cost of more moving parts and a little extra bulk and buoyancy.
What does a purge valve on a snorkel do?
A purge valve is a one-way valve in a sump below the mouthpiece that lets water you blow out drain away instead of sitting in the tube. It makes clearing easier, since a short sharp breath clears the snorkel with much less effort. The tradeoff is one more part that can foul with sand or grit, so rinse it and check that it seats cleanly.
How do I attach a snorkel to my mask?
Snorkels attach on the left side of the mask with a keeper that grips the mask strap, leaving your right side clear for the regulator hose. Position it so the mouthpiece reaches your mouth with the tube running alongside your head, without twisting the strap or pulling the mask skirt off its seal. Many keepers are quick-release, so you can remove the snorkel without disassembling the mask.
Do scuba divers need a snorkel?
It depends on your training agency, the dive operation, and the diving you do, since some courses and operators require one. A snorkel lets you breathe at the surface without using tank gas, which matters on a long surface swim or in chop while waiting for the boat. Follow your instructor's or operator's requirements, and consider a folding snorkel if you want one stowed rather than on your mask.
What size or shape of snorkel should I choose?
A snorkel that is too long or too wide increases the volume of air you rebreathe and makes clearing harder, which is why recreational snorkels cluster around similar lengths and bore sizes. A flexible lower section lets the mouthpiece drop away from your face while you are breathing from the regulator. Mouthpiece comfort matters more than any other feature, so pick one you can hold without jaw fatigue.
How do I care for a snorkel?
Rinse the tube, mouthpiece, and purge valve in fresh water after each dive day, then let it drain and dry fully, because standing salt water in the sump grows mold. Check the mouthpiece for splits and the purge valve for trapped grit, both of which are inexpensive to replace. Store it out of direct sun so the silicone stays soft and clear.
What does the dry top on the Mares Rebel Dry do?
The Rebel Dry has a 100% dry top system that keeps the top dry and prevents water from entering from above.
What colors does the Mares Rebel Dry snorkel come in?
The Mares Rebel Dry is available in Royal Yellow, Royal Blue, and Black.
Can I use the Rebel Dry for scuba diving, or is it only for snorkeling at the surface?
The Rebel Dry is suitable for diving or extended snorkeling sessions. Divers often carry it for surface swims before or after a dive, while snorkelers use it for longer sessions where staying dry at the mouthpiece adds comfort.
How does the sliding snorkel keeper on the Rebel Dry work?
The sliding snorkel keeper adjusts for maximum versatility, letting you attach the snorkel to your mask strap in a comfortable position.
