Designed from the ground up with spearos and freedivers in mind, the Riffe Stable Snorkel is one of the most refined and functional snorkels available for serious water hunters and breath-hold divers. Built around a contoured vinyl tube with a corrugated flex section, it delivers the kind of low-drag, low-fuss performance that matters when you're tracking fish at depth or pushing through a long surface swim. The shark-fin shaped dry-top entry dramatically reduces snagging on lines, kelp, and floating debris, while the backwards-facing splash guard with oversized purge reservoir makes clearing effortless even after a deep dive. Whether you're spearing in the cool, kelp-rich waters of southern Australia or freediving in tropical northern reefs, this snorkel is built to keep up without getting in the way.
Riffe Stable Snorkel Key Features
-
Tube Material: Constructed from flexible vinyl, the tube can be folded flat and stowed in a BC pocket or mask bag without losing its shape or performance.
-
Dry-Top Entry with Shark-Fin Design: The shark-fin profile minimises snagging on lines, seaweed, and surface debris, while the hooded drop prevents water spray from entering the tube during surface swims.
-
Contoured Tube Style: The hydrodynamic teardrop profile reduces drag in the water, keeping the snorkel streamlined against your head and out of your way during dives.
-
Corrugated Flex Section: The drop-away flex lower tube absorbs movement and reduces jaw strain during extended surface intervals, making it equally well-suited to scuba as it is to freediving.
-
Oversized Purge Valve and Reservoir: The large purge system allows for effortless one-breath clearing and is designed to trap water droplets before they reach the mouthpiece, reducing unwanted inhalation of water.
-
Backwards-Facing Splash Guard: The large opening on the splash guard can be blocked with a thumb to force water out, giving the diver manual control over clearing without needing to surface fully.
-
Removable and Comfortable Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece is removable for easy cleaning or replacement, and is shaped to reduce jaw fatigue during long sessions in the water.
-
Vibration Elimination: The snorkel's design actively dampens vibration during dives, reducing noise and distraction that can spook fish or disrupt breath-hold focus.
-
Hinged Snorkel Keeper: A high-quality hinged keeper secures the snorkel firmly to your mask strap, preventing shifting or loss during active diving.
-
Low-Profile and Lightweight: The overall design keeps bulk to a minimum, sitting close to the head and avoiding the cumbersome feel of recreational snorkels not designed for performance diving.
If you're after a snorkel that genuinely performs across spearfishing, freediving, scuba, and snorkelling, the Riffe Stable Snorkel covers all bases without compromise. It's the kind of gear that disappears into your kit the moment you put it on, letting you focus entirely on the dive.
