  • Publication number: 20140158120
    Abstract: A snorkel adapter apparatus is disclosed. The snorkel adapter apparatus includes a snorkel tube, a float, a mouthpiece, and a single pivot point. These pieces combined together create a snorkel breathing apparatus that allows the user to submerge the snorkel in water and prevent water from entering the snorkel tube and mouthpiece. When the snorkel is submerged in water, the float rotates around a coupler attached to the pivot attachment point and closes the open end of the snorkel tube. The buoyancy of the float in the water causes it to rotate and seal the snorkel tube closed.

  • Publication number: 20080308107
    Abstract: A diver's mask strap snorkel tube holder is disclosed. The snorkel tube holder includes at least one element, a passage with first and second passage openings, and a slot. These pieces combined together create a snorkel tube holder that provides a soft pad underneath the mask strap for the diver's comfort, prevents the diver's hair from being grabbed and pulled, holds the snorkel tube in the optimum position just forward of the diver's ear, quickly and easily attaches the snorkel to the mask, and stabilizes the snorkel tube. The diver's mask strap is threaded through the first passage opening and exits through the second passage opening. The slot is positioned at an acute angle relative to the second passage opening and releasably secures the snorkel tube to the diver's mask.
