Features: - Hyperdry system with three current rectifying plates. - Pre-angled purge valve to eliminate gurgling of water by breathing and let air bubbles pass by the side of the face - Ortho-consciously designed mouthpiece for ultimate comfort. - Detachable two-sectional swivel adapter to minimize the pulling feeling. - Three-dimensional pipe curve for the ideal angle for snorkelling. The sensation of residual water (gurgling) while snorkelling is eliminated. This revolutionary snorkel uses a new mouthpiece, designed with the aid of ergonomic engineering. The ultimate in oval design to reduce water resistance. The oval design, a unique feature of TUSA snorkels, has now been further improved in the pipe. It provides direction to water blown upward to ensure a clear snorkel at all times while minimizing water resistance during snorkelling. The pipe interior, with its bellows section, has a new flush surface to further smooth the airflow. New two-sectional swivel adapter enhances comfort and performance. The SP-130 features a newly developed snorkel adapter that integrates a swivel mechanism to the pipe clip and strap attachment. The new adapter includes the following two features: 1. This mechanism allows the snorkel to swivel to the optimum angle to reduce tension and stress for enhanced comfort and performance, as compared to earlier models. 2. Adjustments are made by sliding the adapter's position forward or back - a forward or rearward position may be selected. For example, depending on the size of the head, if the adapter is too close to the mouth, the corrugated tube may become excessively bent reducing airflow. By sliding the new adapter backward, stress on the corrugated tube is eliminated and the bite on the mouthpiece becomes more natural. Also, the top of the pipe which extends above the surface of the water is placed in an optimal position. In addition, by sliding the pipe clip forward and off the strap attachment, the snorkel can be easily detached from the mask. New purge channel Since the purge valve is at an angle to the body, after clearing the snorkel, even if water remains in the chamber it will not affect the flow of air in the pipe (away from the mouth). Therefore, there is no gurgling of water caused by breathing and water does not return to the mouth. Also, air bubbles that come from the valve pass by the side of the face without obstructing the field of view. The new mouthpiece, developed on the basis of ergonomic engineering, further enhances the comfort of bite, fit and stability. Even with a light bite, a high level of stability is achieved, so there is no fatigue from long periods of usage.
