The 5 Best foldable Snorkels (2023 reviews)

This is a solid snorkel if you're a casual snorkeler and don't like having to deal with water down your tube. The alpha ultra dry snorkel streamlined design reduces drag while snorkeling and the dual release adjustable clip for securing the snorkel to your mask has its own streamlined shape to further reduce drag in the water. It is made in Italy in 100% high quality silicone, a better material and longer lasting than plastic pvc.

The snorkel unit attaches easily to snorkel masks, and folds down very compactly. It has a highly flexible tube that reduces jaw fatigue and folds down very compactly for storing in a bc pocket or travel pack. The dry top automatically closes when submerged not allowing water entry regardless of the angle of the snorkel when you surface dive. The air flow is not quite as good as snorkels without the water blocker in place.

Why We Like This:

Comfortable snorkel good for beginners, will need to purchase separate mask

Best For Scuba Diving: Roohiseng foldable Snorkel

Buy on Amazon

This is a compact snorkel set to take with you when you do some recreational snorkeling. It includes a tempered glass mask, dry top snorkel and adjustable diving fins with a zippered mesh backpack. The hypoallergenic silicone skirt around the snorkel mask can reduce face water pressure and seal on your face well without worrying about leakage. It comes with a dry floating valve that can be sealed when submerged and keep water from entering, and the lower purge valve can quickly drain the water.

The mask has good suction to the face and is comfortable on. The clasp has an O ring so it seals it nicely. It is latex-free and has an easily adjustable clip. It comes in a box, and is a nice gift for snorkeling lovers, no matter beginner or experienced snorkeler.

Why We Like This:

Great fit and soft pliable silicone, snorkel tube and mask are great fits
Fits a 10 year old well and doesn't leak
A foldable snorkel that makes it easier for traveling

Best With Purge Valve: Promate foldable Snorkel

Buy on Amazon

This foldable snorkel is nicely designed but would be much better if it included a holder. It is ideal for scuba diving off boats, where your snorkel is more of an emergency backup. It conveniently rolls up and stores in your bcd pocket. There are 2 little holes at the top of the snorkel that fit over 2 little wings on the outside of the clip. It has a way to stay rolled up.

The fold away concept is very useful and it works great as a standard snorkel. It is used for snorkeling, but it is not as ideal. Other similar snorkels also come with a large hard plastic case so they do not stay rolled up without it.

Why We Like This:

Flexible foldable tube for easy storing
Works better in calm water, doesn't do to well in choppy water
Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For those: Seac foldable Snorkel

Buy on Amazon

The seac foldable snorkel might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. The Seac Top Flex is the multi-purpose seacsub snorkel that combines ergonomics and practicality. It folds with one hand and easily fits into the jacket pockets. It makes switching mask/snorkel combo easy. It is glossy black, with a soft silicon mouthpiece. Divers who enjoy recreational diving will appreciate it for the ease with which you can fold and place the tube in the jacket pockets.

The freedivers can combine with the most common "low volume" underwater masks in black and store or fasten them fast in case it is not needed. It is perfect for those who practice underwater diving in apnea, to be combined with a reduced volume mask.

Why We Like This:

Parts that can easily fail, and lighter weight than snorkels with valves
Good brand reputation
