excellent
Great to use- but fiddly to attach to mask and remove. I guess it might just take practice

The Atomic SV2 is the brand new snorkel from Atomic, it features Scupper Valve. The Scupper Valve inside the SV snorkel series works in the same way as the Scupper Valve on a boat. An internal tube located inside the main snorkel body retains a small one way Scupper Flap Valve that allows water to flow past the mouthpiece and out the purge valve, without collecting at the bottom of the breathing passage. The diver simply exhales a small burst of air to clear any water trapped below the mouthpiece, keeping the internal tube airway dry. It's so simple and so effective.
Please note, due to changes in EU regulations the tops of this snorkel may differ to pictures. We are working to update images so they are an accurate representation of the SV2 snorkel.
The Scupper Valve (SV) design is self-draining and delivers crisp, effortless clearing.
- Posi-lock flex retainer secures flex section and mouthpiece.
- Dual silicone mouthpiece prevents over-clenching of teeth that would restrict air flow.
- Rotational mouthpiece with ratchet indicators.
The SV2 combines the Scupper Valve lower section with the sleek looking SV2 Semi-Dry top. The SV2 Semi-Dry top horizontal vents diffuse splashed water that would normally freely enter the snorkel top. The small gaps between the vanes of the vent restrict water speed and droplet size and permit most of the splashed water to exit the special vents without entering the breathing tube. Thus you get less water in your snorkel. The SV2 is the perfect answer for rough or choppy water conditions.
- Quick disconnect snorkel keeper includes 30 degree rotation.
- Sliding snorkel keeper range adjuster allows for accurate placement without constant re-adjusting each dive.
- Atomic Aquatics' international and award winning styling team makes the SV1 and SV2 high performance snorkels something you would be proud to use.
Atomic SV2 Snorkel - Features
| Feature | Product Specification |
|---|---|
| Cross-section ? The cross section of a snorkel may not seem very important but there is a reason boats and ships have efficiently streamlined bows that cut through the water, massively reducing drag.
The same principle applies to snorkels. A snorkel with a flatter profile hugs the side of the head better and offers a more streamlined leading edge that reduces drag and helps to reduce or eliminate the flapping that can be created when finning quickly through the water.
Obviously you can't create a really flat snorkel without restricting air flow so a lot of snorkels will have a thinner leading edge but be wider than a circular profile snorkel to maintain the air flow efficiency.Close | Oval |
| Lower Bend ? This section of the snorkel bends the tube to angle the mouthpiece towards the mouth for a comfortable fit. A simple snorkel will have a fixed angle piece with a smooth internal and external surface that does not offer any flexibility.
Most snorkels, however, have either a semi flexible or fully flexible silicone section that offers some or complete flexibility over the angle and position of the mouthpiece.
For snorkellers a semi flexible section can some times be more beneficial as it keeps the mouthpiece close to the mouth whereas a scuba diver would prefer a fully flexible version that moves the mouthpiece out of the way of the regulator.
Regardless of the choice it is important that the corrugation that allows the section to flex so much is only on the outside of the snorkel. Ridges on the inside of the snorkel causes the air flow to slow and spin, taking more effort to breathe and creating dead air spaces.Close | Flexible |
| Mouthpiece ? Most snorkells are designed to be used by a variety of people including adults, teenagers and children but not everyone finds the standard size mouthpieces comfortable because they are too large. There are snorkels fitted with smaller motuhpiece to make use much more comfortable.Close | Standard |
| Purge Valve ? A one way purge valve can be incorporated into the frame or nose section to allow for hassle free mask clearing. The diver just needs to tilt his/her head to allow the water to flow to the valve and be purged out.Close | Yes |
| Rigidity ? The main body of the snorkel can either be rigid or flexible each with its own benefits. Rigid snorkels maintain their shape and airway no matter the current or abuse but they can be cumbersome and will often break before they bend so pack them carefully.
Flexible snorkels can bend and flex and are made to keep the airway open and maintain their shape but in strong currents and rolled for long periods can distort.Close | Flexible |
| Snorkel Top ? In its simplest form a snorkel tube is just open which obviously allows air to flow in and out of the snorkel as freely as possible but also allows water to splash into and enter the snorkel.
A deflector is a cap that fits over the top of the snorkel tube opening and uses a series of guards and vanes to direct water that splashes over the top of the snorkel away from the opening. It is not 100% guaranteed to prevent water from enetering the snorkel but they are very useful in choppy seas and makea big difference to comfort and convenience when snorkelling.
A Dry Valve builds upon the principles of a deflector by incorporating a float valve that will close the snorkel opening when submerged. Early versions of these valves were simply ping pong balls trapped within a tube that floated up to block the tube. Modern valves use a float linked to a hinging flap that closes over the top of the snorkel which are very responsive and hugely more reliable.Close | Deflector |
| Strap Retainer ? To keep your snorkel in position you need some kind of loop to attach it to your mask strap.
Two methods of strap retention used on most snorkels are a fixed plastic clip and a quick release assembly. The fixed clip allows for rapid insertion of the mask strap and vertical movement for a customised fit to the mouthpiece. This clip method is cheaper but does not allow for as much movement flexibility and convenience of a quick release clip.
The Quick Release method uses a two piece assembly, one piece is permanently attached to the snorkel tube and the other is fitted to the mask strap. The two pieces can be joined by pushing together and released at the push of a button.Close | Quick Release |

Sv2 snorkel
I purchased what is a very expensive snorkel for a 2-week snorkeling holiday but by day 3 I had given up using it and had to rent what was a cheap basic one from the dive shop. The rental snorkel worked perfectly. The Purge valve on the sv2 snorkel did not clear the water properly, it made no difference what position head was in. Overall it was very disappointing. I will be returning it asap.
