The new C4 Meltemi snorkel wins the Best Choice 2024 by Apneapassion in the snorkels category, a great match with the C4 Condor mask winner of both the Award and the Best Choice 2024. Finalists in the category also two very well designed products, the Mares Dual and the Cressi Corsica snorkels, the latter winning the Best Value 2024.
C4 Meltemi snorkel
The C4 Meltemi snorkel wins the Best Choice 2024 by Apneapassion in the freediving and spearfishing snorkels category. It has already been presented in our X-Rays column, together with its shorter version, the C4 Scirocco. It astonishes thanks to the design and materials. Its flattened shape and soft silicone permits to wear it for hours without causing discomfort or pain. The bite is great and has been judged by the entire International Apneapassion Team as particularly comfortable. The soft tube permits to bend it and have it return perfectly in its initial position. The C4 Meltemi snorkel also floats, so it is great for freediving and also is less likely to be lost. But the plus that has been perceived very clearly is the amazing ease in exhaling during breathing and expelling the water from the tube, something key in any diving session.
Cressi Corsica snorkel
The Cressi Corsica snorkel is a great product, available in four colours, blue metal, white, black and black/green. The tube is soft and bendable which makes it extremely comfortable to properly position it behind the head. The large diameter tube maintains ease of breathing. When diving, the mouthpiece tucks neatly under the chin for the best hydrodynamics. The anatomical hypoallergenic silicone mouthpiece provides extreme comfort during long sessions
in the water. Tested by the International Apneapassion Team it has confirmed comfort and ease of breathing. With these very good characteristics and the amazingly low price around 15€, the Cressi Corsica wins the Best Value 2024 by Apneapassion.
Mares Dual
A very advanced design for the Mares Dual snorkel, finalist of the Best Choice 2024 by Apneapassion. The Mares Dual snorkel is the only one among the finalists to utilize two different hardness rubbers for the tube, definitely a higher level solution. Thought both for freediving and spearfishing, the two materials with varying levels of softness minimize vibrations and noise during dives. The Mares Dual snorkel ensures easy and natural breathing during ventilation phases. The snorkel’s optimized diameters and lengths prevent air turbulence and facilitate clearing. Its unique D-shaped design prevents uncomfortable contact with the temples. The mouthpiece is made of hypoallergenic silicone, suitable for extended use.
