    I like your videos! Tried snorkeling for the first time last week in the Dominican Republic and I felt like I couldn't breathe and the mask made me feel claustrophobic! I had to tap out while the rest of my friends and family had a great time. I haven't given up on it yet though! Looking forward to giving snorkeling another try next year!

      We're glad you're not giving up! It can definitely take some time to get used to snorkeling. Try practicing with your gear at your nearest swimming pool before your next snorkeling trip. This will help you feel more comfortable and hopefully make your snorkeling experience more enjoyable. Thanks for watching!

    I snorkeled Lake Huron today…just my second time doing it…it was a blast! One problem I had was there were pretty big roller waves and it would get water down the snorkel…any tips? I have a dry snorkel…how do you purge it without raising your head out of the water?

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  7 месяцев назад +2

      A dry snorkel should eliminate most water coming into your snorkel but won't necessarily keep all water out depending on the situation. With your head still in the water, you can purge your dry snorkel with a hard exhale. Water should either purge out the purge valve at the bottom of the snorkel or out the top of the snorkel. We talk a little about purging a snorkel in our most recent video which you can find at ruclips.net/video/3hPxvG4OHZs/видео.html if you'd like. With some practice, purging will become no big deal. I hope you are able to get back out there and try it again! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you. I just need to figure out if the second hand snorkel I bought just needs a single part or if it’s missing a couple of parts. The purge valve has nothing there… Is it just supposed to have a diaphragm there or is it more that just that? Like the top has a rubber seal for being a dry top snorkel that gets put into place with a small piece of styrofoam when you dive under water. Is something similar supposed to be on the purge valve as well?

    I’ve started swimming laps in the pool with my snorkel to avoid pain when turning my head for air. I’ve noticed with the snorkel - when I’m short of breath and take a break- needing air feels just a little different to when I would breathe between strokes. I’m not sure if it’s in my head or what the go is. But I’m glad I can swim without the pain

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  Месяц назад

      We're glad to hear that you are using a snorkel while swimming. It can make such a difference for those who experience pain when turning their head to breathe while lap swimming. I'm not sure which type of snorkel you are using but if you aren't using a swimmer's snorkel, you might consider one. They are designed specifically for lap swimming. You can learn more about our swimmer's snorkel at www.krakenaquatics.com/products/swimmers-snorkel if that is something you are interested in. Keep up the great work and keep on swimming! 🏊‍♂

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  6 месяцев назад +3

      When snorkeling, you will breathe in and out slowly and deeply with the top of the tube above water, holding your breath if the top goes underwater. When you surface, exhale forcefully to clear water from the tube and breathe gently to avoid inhaling any remaining water that may be still inside the snorkel. Once the snorkel is clear of water and the top is above the surface, you'll simply continue to breathe in and out through the snorkel. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

    Hi Steve - thanks for this video! I am a beginner, and I use a set just like yours for swimming below the surface. However, after using it 10 - 15 times, the snorkel started rattling and rumbling, and it's getting worse. It only does that UNDER water - as soon as I emerge, I can breathe in and out freely. Yesterday, the system collapsed. The mask or the snorkel or both got jammed, and I could not breathe in anymore. The whole chaos got me dizzy, so my pool time ended abruptly. I need this set several times a week .... is there something I might be doing wrong? Would I blindly purchase a new one? Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated.

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  7 дней назад

      With a traditional mask and snorkel setup, you can only breathe through your mouth using the snorkel. Your nose is enclosed in the mask, so it won’t allow for nose breathing. If you want to go underwater, you’ll need to hold your breath, as snorkels don’t work when fully submerged. Hope this helps.

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  Год назад +4

      When you dive down, a dry snorkel will seal off the tube preventing water from getting inside the snorkel. During the dive, you would simply hold your breath until you resurface. What you can do while you are returning to the surface is to blow the air that is in the tube out which will push out any water that may have entered and allow you to get back to breathing normal on the surface. This should be done right before breaking the surface.

    I bought a Aqualung Micro X mask and when brearh though my nose the mask fits and doesnt come off. But I tryed it under the shower and it seems that it leeks on my. I might have pulled my mask too tight. But the mask should fit me right ?

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  Год назад +1

      If you are able to breath in and hold the mask to your face without using straps, then it sounds like the mask does fit you and is sealing properly. If you are getting water into the mask under a shower, it sounds like perhaps there is some sort of obstruction going on. Could be the skirt got folded over without realizing it, hair caught between the skirt and skin or even, as you mentioned, mask straps could be too tight. Tighter isn't always better and this can cause the mask to not seal. We have a video about reasons for a leaking dive mask. Check it out if you'd like. ruclips.net/video/W1IF-_Crrlo/видео.html. We also have a video on properly tightening your mask straps if you feel that might be the issue. ruclips.net/video/jt9aIPoYo3w/видео.html. Hope this helps.

    • @krakenaquatics
      @krakenaquatics  Год назад +1

      The snorkel being used in this video is our dry snorkel. It is designed with a floating ball system at the top of the snorkel tube that will keep water out of the snorkel when it gets submerged until the water. This is very helpful if you choose to dive down under the surface or if waves keep causing the snorkel to go under the water. If water still happens to get in, there is a purge valve at the bottom of the snorkel where the water can be easily purged out. I hope this answers your question. 👍
