Hi Harald!

Make the effort to pick up a traditional figure 8 keeper before your trip. Think of it like this, a modern keeper provides only a very small contact point between the strap and the snorkel. The wider that contact point is, the more stable your snorkel will be.

Also, you mentioned in passing "trouble purging"....you might think of getting a better snorkel. The best snorkels clear nearly 100% (or seem that way at least) with just a puff and should be no "trouble" whatsoever! If your left with that gurgling water in the bottom of your snorkel every time you clear. it's time to upgrade...and yes, a purge valve in the right snorkel will make a huge difference.

I recently did a lot of testing on non-purge designs trying to see if we could develop a non-purge that would clear as well as our best purge...so far no luck!

I have some ideas for the absolute perfect snorkel but need some time to work on that project. It definitely does not exist yet!
