"Have you used it? Can you get it cleared? I bought one to do my BOW with. I never learned how to get it completly clear of water. I guess it is due to the ribs of the compactable pipe. I just never got used to the sound of gergeling water in a pipe I'm trying to breathe through.
Let me know any tricks if you have them."
Dive Buddy, the Avid is definetly not a dry snorkel but I'm used to the gurgling as I've never had a dry snorkel.
The longest I've used it was maybe 45 minutes when we were snorkeling with the humpbacks and another diver borrowed it to jump into a pod of Pilot whales and he didn't have any complaints. I think both of us had way too much adrenalin flowing to notice any problems with the snorkel
