Kapitol Reef Snorkel

The world's first pressure-regulated snorkel.
This revolutionary dry snorkel uniquely regulates exhalation pressure and separates fresh ready-to-inhale air from exhaled carbon dioxide.

What's wrong with my regular snorkel?

Conventional snorkels simply do not facilitate normal human breathing in the pressurized underwater environment. The re-breathing ofexhaled carbon dioxide combined with water pressure against your chest wall creates what we call snorkel panic. As a result, inhalation muscles fatigue quickly, lung volumes decrease, and breathing patterns become erratic.

Why Kapitol Reef?

The Kapitol Reef snorkel cures snorkel panic and shallow breathing problems with the employment of Kadence Technology. This revolutionary science behind the Kapitol Reef snorkel provides support for your inhalation muscles, preserves lung volumes, restores a normal cadence to breathing and maximizes comfort and confidence by ensuring a fresh, dry breath every time.

Kapitol Reef Benefits

To create a truly innovative product, Kapitol Reef's team was forced to question some long-standing conventions and develop different, and ultimately better, components and technology. Here are some of the benefits that sets Kapitol Reef apart from others in the snorkeling industry:
- Regulates Exhalation Pressure
- Maintains lung volumes
- Separates inhaled air from exhaled carbon dioxide
- Stays amazingly dry
- Reduces snorkel panic
- Perfect for all experience levels and ages.

"I've read some of the reviews, and while I noticed that it gurgled, that was easily cleared by going under and clearing it on the way back up.

"I bought the Kapitol Reef Snorkel based on the description and thought it would provide very free airflow, both exhaling AND inhaling. Wrong. It is a very hard pull to inhale, and besides it quickly develops a water rattling sound that is annoying.



The comfort level of this snorkel is excellent. …"  Read Full Review »
