SCUBAPRO Snorkels — Dry, Semi-Dry, and Freediving Options
A snorkel seems like a simple piece of gear until you're managing splash on a choppy surface interval or trying to keep a mouthpiece comfortable through an hour-long dive. SCUBAPRO's snorkel lineup covers the full range — dry-top designs that seal completely when submerged, semi-dry configurations that reduce splash without full sealing, and a foldable freediving snorkel built for compact storage.
At DiveCatalog.com, we carry the current SCUBAPRO snorkel lineup as an authorized dealer.
The SCUBAPRO Snorkel Range
Spectra Dry — Full Seal, No Clearing Required
The Spectra Dry pairs with SCUBAPRO Spectra masks and uses a dry-top design that seals the tube completely when submerged — eliminating the need to clear water from the snorkel upon resurfacing entirely. A large-bore upper tube delivers ample airflow for relaxed breathing, an efficient purge valve prevents water from entering the airway if any does get in, and the flexible lower corrugated tube keeps the regulator-style mouthpiece out of the way when you're breathing off your primary regulator underwater. A quick-connect clip simplifies attachment to and removal from the mask strap.
Spectra — Semi-Dry Standard
The standard Spectra uses a large-bore upper tube for stable, ample airflow during extended surface sessions, with a corrugated lower tube that can be positioned to keep the mouthpiece clear when breathing off a regulator. A semi-dry top deflects surface splash for steadier airflow without the full sealing mechanism of the Dry version.
Escape — Compact Semi-Dry
The Escape uses a splashguard barrel-top design to minimize water entry into the large-bore tube while maintaining comfortable, steady airflow. A low-position purge valve allows quick water clearing, and the flexible corrugated section naturally drops away when not in use, reducing drag and keeping your profile streamlined. A quick-connect clip enables simple mask attachment and removal.
Apnea — Foldable Open-Top for Freediving
The Apnea is a compact, J-tube surface breather built specifically for freediving and spearfishing, where a streamlined, minimal-drag profile matters. It attaches to your mask strap for hands-free surface breathing and folds flat for quick, unobtrusive storage when not in use — unfolding to breathe at the surface, then stowing neatly with your gear before a dive. Soft, flexible non-toxic silicone construction, with a removable upper barrel for a shorter pipe option.

Frequently Asked Questions — SCUBAPRO Snorkels
What is the difference between a dry top and semi-dry snorkel?
A dry-top snorkel (like the Spectra Dry) fully seals the tube when submerged, requiring no clearing at all when you resurface. A semi-dry snorkel (like the standard Spectra or Escape) reduces surface splash entering the tube but doesn't fully seal, so some clearing may still be needed depending on conditions.
Why does the corrugated lower tube matter?
It allows the snorkel mouthpiece to be repositioned out of the way when you're breathing off your primary regulator underwater — useful since you typically don't want the snorkel mouthpiece interfering while you're diving on scuba, only when surface breathing.
Is the Apnea suitable for scuba diving, or only freediving?
It's specifically designed for freediving and spearfishing, where its streamlined, minimal-drag, foldable profile matters most. For scuba diving, the Spectra or Spectra Dry are better suited to the breathing patterns and use case.
