SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel — Blue semidry large-bore snorkel with low purge valve

The SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel in Blue is a semidry, large-bore snorkel designed for easy breathing, quick clearing, and comfortable fit during surface swims and dive transitions.

This streamlined snorkel blends a wide-diameter airway with a semidry top and a low-mounted purge valve to make breathing and clearing faster and less effortful. A flexible corrugated section allows the mouthpiece to drop away when not in use, while a removable cellphone-style clip secures the snorkel to most masks. Built with simple, durable materials and offered in multiple colors, the Escape is suited to both recreational snorkelers and divers who want reliable surface-breathing gear.

How does the Escape Snorkel make breathing easier at the surface?

The Escape features a large-bore tube that reduces resistance and lets you inhale and exhale with less work compared with narrow snorkels. That roomy airway is particularly helpful during longer surface swims or when recovering breath after exertion. Combined with the semidry top, it balances airflow with protection against water entry.

• Large-bore tube for lower breathing resistance and improved airflow
• Semidry top reduces splashed water entering the tube
• Wide airway helps maintain steady breathing during surface intervals

What makes clearing water from the snorkel simple?

A purge valve mounted at the lowest point of the snorkel makes expelling water fast and effortless: a short exhale sends water out through the valve rather than forcing you to blast it back up the tube. The semidry top also reduces the amount of water that enters, so you need to clear less frequently. The corrugated lower section positions the valve advantageously when the snorkel returns to its natural hanging position.

• Low-mounted purge valve for quick, easy clearing with minimal effort
• Semidry splash guard lowers the frequency of full floods
• Corrugated section places the purge at the optimal clearing point

How comfortable and secure is the mouthpiece and attachment system?

The Escape uses a regulator-style mouthpiece designed to reduce jaw fatigue and provide a secure seal without extreme clamping. The flexible, corrugated lower section lets the mouthpiece sag comfortably when you’re not breathing through it, preventing strain. A cellphone-style removable clip fits most mask straps, keeping the snorkel steady but allowing quick removal when you want to stow it.

• Regulator-style mouthpiece for reduced jaw fatigue and reliable seal
• Flexible corrugated section drops the mouthpiece away from the face when idle
• Removable cellphone-style clip attaches to most mask straps for secure fit

Which situations is the SCUBAPRO Escape best suited for?

The Escape is built for general snorkeling and scuba surface use where dependable breathing, easy clearing, and comfort matter most. Its design works well for pool drills, shore entries, boat dives, and casual reef snorkeling. The variety of color options also helps with visibility and personal preference.

• Ideal for recreational snorkeling, dive surface intervals, and training
• Good for users who prioritize easy clearing and low breathing effort
• Available colors aid personal identification and visibility in the water

Who is this for: The SCUBAPRO Escape Snorkel in Blue is aimed at snorkelers and divers who want a simple, high-flow snorkel that clears easily and stays comfortable over long surface periods. It’s a practical choice for students, recreational divers, and anyone who prefers a low-resistance snorkel with splash protection and a familiar regulator-style mouthpiece.
