SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel — Semi‑Dry Large‑Bore Snorkel in Black with Low Purge & Regulator‑Style Mouthpiece

The SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel is a semi-dry, large-bore snorkel built for comfortable, effortless breathing and fast clearing.

Engineered for surface-swimming and casual freediving, the Escape pairs a splashguard top with a roomy barrel and low-mounted purge to keep water out and make clearing simple. Its regulator-style mouthpiece and flexible corrugated section let the tube drop away when you don’t need it, while a quick-release clip keeps the snorkel attached to your mask for instant access. The design focuses on comfort, airflow and uncomplicated operation so you can concentrate on the water rather than your gear.

How does the top design reduce water intake?

The snorkel uses a splashguard-style semi-dry top that deflects surface spray and small waves from entering the main tube. It’s not a fully sealed dry-top, so larger waves or a full submersion can still let water in, but the configuration greatly reduces the need to clear the tube during normal surface use.

• Semi-dry splashguard diverts spray and light chop
• Large-bore barrel maintains airflow even with some water present
• Low purge valve speeds clearing when needed

Will this snorkel be comfortable for long swims?

Yes — the Escape features an ergonomic regulator-style mouthpiece shaped to reduce jaw fatigue and improve comfort on extended sessions. The corrugated flex section lets the snorkel fall away from your face when not in use, preventing tugging and allowing a natural head position while swimming.

• Regulator-style mouthpiece contours to the jaw for less jaw strain
• Flexible corrugated section accommodates movement and storage
• Lightweight construction minimizes neck and face pressure

How easy is it to clear water from this snorkel?

Clearing is straightforward thanks to the purge valve positioned at the lowest point of the barrel. When water enters the tube you can exhale sharply to force water out of the purge without removing the snorkel from your mouth. The combination of large internal bore and efficient purge makes clearing quicker and less effortful than narrow-tubed designs.

• Low-mounted purge valve provides reliable drainage
• Wide bore reduces resistance for faster forced clearing
• Simple exhale technique clears water while keeping mask in place

How does it attach to a mask and store when not in use?

The Escape includes a handy clip that secures the snorkel to most mask straps, enabling quick removal and reattachment. When you don’t need the snorkel, the corrugated lower section bends so the mouthpiece hangs comfortable and out of the way, preventing interference with vision or swimming stroke.

• Quick-release clip fits standard mask straps for fast on/off
• Corrugated drop-section stores the snorkel beside the face when not in use
• Compact profile helps keep your kit streamlined on the surface

Who is this for? The SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel is suited to snorkelers, snorkel-assisted freedivers and recreational scuba divers who want reliable surface breathing without complexity. It’s ideal for swimmers who value easy clearing, good airflow and a comfortable mouthpiece — especially those who spend extended time on the surface or switch frequently between mask use and free movement.
