Sounds like a typical boutique item to me. In other words, yeah, it does what it says, but is it worth the price? For $85, Id so NO!
<DIV>But then again, Ive never had any "problems" like "lung fatigue" from using a snorkle. Makes me wonder if they made this condition up to sell the product. Maybe somone else can chime in and set me straight on "lung fatigue"?</DIV>

I hope I'm never dumb enough to spend that kind of money on a snorkel. If I ever see anyone using one of these I'll make sure to give them hell.

Multiple US and foreign patents are pending which address the overall function of the snorkel, the specific optimizations of the valves, the snag-free clip, and other features.

Very cool looking snorkel. I might get one if it's $30 or less[img]smileys/smiley14.gif[/img]

For $85.....no, don't think so. Those doctors should know better, there's a reason why there are no other $85 snorkels in the market....er....maybe we don't need one? Paris Hilton might get one (the Barbie pink perhaps) if she ever go diving.
