- PADI Open Water: Manual & Recreational Dive Planner included
In Gull’s famous lineup of scuba-diving and skin-diving equipment, this high-spec snorkel is top of the class.
FEATURES
- Stabilizer pipe
Streamlined tube reduces vibration and discomfort from tube shift.
- One touch clip
It is easy to attach and detach the snorkel:just squeeze either side of the clip that attaches to the mask strap.
- Twin Purge Valves
With double the usual number of purge valves you can clear water more quickly from the snorkel. After expulsion, by channeling any water that remains into the purge chambers, the design diverts water away from your mouth.
- Specially designed mouthpiece
Freely adjust the angle to easily find the most natural, comfortable position for you.
To better fit the upper and lower profiles of the teeth, the grips are vertically asymmetrical. There are also two sizes, one more suitable for men and the other for women. For most users, fatigue does not build up. Even after using the Canal for hours, still comfortable, you will hardly notice that your mouth has been gripping the mouthpiece.
