C4 Scirocco snorkel is Best Choice 2024
The C4 Scirocco is the Best Choice by Apneapassion 2024 in the Freediving Snorkels category. The great design is perfect for freediving. In particular, the C4 Scirocco has various pluses.
First of all, and there aren’t many snorkels with such characteristic on the market, it floats. This is key for freediving, letting the snorkel go when making the duck dive.
Secondly, the section of the tube is flattened to adhere perfectly to the side or rear of the head, depending on where the diver prefers to position the snorkel, with zero discomfort.
Thirdly, the material of the tube is sufficiently soft to flex and return perfectly to its original position, but not too much as it would squeeze under the mask strap.
Finally, the design of the section of the mouthpiece and the tube determines, and this is well perceivable, and ease of passage of the airflow which is probably the best on the market. To this, the reduced length of the snorkel makes it perfect for freediving in the pool or at sea in calm conditions.
On the other hand, for spearfishing, the Meltemi, with its greater length is more advisable, especially with wavy sea. That is why the C4 Meltemi has won the 2024 Best Choice by Apneapassion in the Spearfishing snorkels category.
Mares Element F
The Mares Element F is the 2024 Best Value by Apneapassion in the Freediving Snorkels category. With a price that reaches down to only 10€ on the web, this product is amazing, even though simple. Soft, floatable, well designed, in 6 colours, white, pink, blue, yellow, green and olive, the Mares Element F snorkel is perfect for the needs of a freediver, but can also work greatly in spearfishing. The soft tube permits to avoid that the snorkel moves the mask when hitting accidentally a rock during the dive, entering, for example, underwater passages.
