TUSA SP-0101 Hyperdry Elite II Scuba Diving Snorkel - Dry Top

In this review of the TUSA SP-0101 Hyperdry Elite II Snorkel, the bottom line is simple: this snorkel is for divers and snorkelers who need reliable dryness and easy clearing in choppy conditions. The standout feature is the Hyperdry Elite dry top that quickly seals when submerged, keeping the tube clear of water and reducing interruptions while swimming. Reviewers and testers will appreciate a comfortable silicone mouthpiece and a large purge system that together make breathing and clearing faster and less tiring during extended surface swims.

Key Features

• Hyperdry Elite dry top: Low profile dry top closes the gasket quickly when submerged to keep water out and maintain an unobstructed airway.
• Silicone mouthpiece: Ortho-conscious silicone design reduces jaw fatigue and improves long sessions of breathing through the snorkel.
• High flow purge: Angled purge chamber with a covered large diameter purge valve clears water fast so less liquid lingers in the mouthpiece.
• Comfort swivel: Two-part swivel adapter lets the snorkel rotate and be attached horizontally while easing strap installation and reducing pressure on the mouth.
• Streamlined profile: The compact shape of this Hyperdry variant lowers drag and makes it less obtrusive when sighting or paddling at the surface.

Who It's For

This snorkel suits recreational and travel divers who spend significant time at the surface between dives and want a reliable dry top to prevent surprise water ingress. It is also a good option for snorkelers who value a soft, comfortable mouthpiece for reduced jaw fatigue and easy breath clearing.

Less experienced users who are sensitive to attachment methods should note that the strap slit and swivel attachment receives mixed feedback for ease of sliding; divers who need a fully adjustable quick-slide clip might prefer a different attachment system.
