Diving Dry Snorkel Best snorkel vs cheap snorkels? Suggestions?
Hi! It's been quite awhile since I've bought a snorkel. I still have mine from 10 years ago, but I decided to go for a new one. I know back in the day I had a snazzy snorkel that kept the water out even when diving down with it (I believe they call 'em dry snorkels). What are the best technologies out there right now for snorkels? What do you specifically consider the best snorkel? And most importantly, what do you consider the best snorkel for a reasonable price? The more info the better! Thanks!
don`t get a cheap snorkel as these are normal badly made, and a complete waste of money. Get one worth about £15 that has a comfortable adjustable elastic strap so you can change the tightness. Hope i helped x

Menjangan Island is said to be one of Bali's best diving and snorkelling site. There are a few dive sites to choose from at Menjangan with good conditions and excellent exposure to the underwater world. The island is surrounded by a wide variety coral reef; very rich and colourful... From hard coral to soft coral, from soft pink, blue to green, orange and many more. Very beautiful scenery that the earth can create! The coral characterised by deep drop offs of up to 60 metres and by complex rock formations.
Menjangan Island is occupied by natural reserves, from sheer drop offs to 60+ metres, small caves, sandy slopes and a beautiful blue green lagoon.
The underwater world has a big collection of fish! There is clown fish, goat fish, batfish, snapper, sweetlips, angelfish and fusiliers. Unusual collection of fish like Frogfish, Pipefish, many interesting Nudibranch, Scorpionfish, Lionfish, leaf scorpions, crocodilefish and Cuttlefish can also be spotted. There are even tuna, shoals of jack-fish, batfish, angelfish, seahorses, sea turtles, and sharks, especially off the outer corners of the island! Of course it is not only fish that can be seen in Menjangan, there are also dolphin, whaleshark, mantarays, giant barracuda, Napoleon, potato cod! It is said that during the rainy season is the best time to have a chance to see manta and the baby (±7mtr) whaleshark. Wow.. what a wide variety of Marine ecosystem!

Imagine after diving, enjoying nice food and then rest in hammock while enjoying the beauty of nature. It is truly a bless!
Menjangan has a wreck, name “Anker”. The name comes from a heavily encrusted anchor, which sits at about 6m on the top of the reef nearby. “Anker” is old wooden ship wrecks, which is believe to be more than 100 years old. There are glass and ceramic and is completely inhabit by soft coral, and it is excellent place to meet turtle and sharks!

For those who does not do diving or snorkelling, you can enjoy the sea ecosystem by you own naked eyes! The water is so clear that you can see it with your naked eyes! Menjangan island is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches.
There is this article that I recently read on the The Jakarta Post that mentioned: “The beauty of underwater coral reefs and the ecosystem around Menjangan Island, is on the brink of destruction as the practice of fish bombing carried out by local fishermen is on the rise”. Hope that further action is taken by the government to protect such nature beauty. J
