ABSTRACT:
A multi-tubed diving snorkel, comprising first and second elongated air tubes positioned side-by-side between an upper end and a lower end of the snorkel. A first valve device is positioned at the upper end of the snorkel for permitting air to flow only in a first direction through a first one of the two tubes and only in a second opposite direction through the second of the two tubes. A second valve device is positioned at the lower end of a snorkel adjacent a mouthpiece for permitting air to flow only in the first direction through the first tube and only in the second direction through the second tube. The side-by-side configuration of the tubes is more flexible than concentric tubes and the use of a valve device adjacent the mouthpiece reduces unwanted mixing of exhaust and intake gases.
