Where to buy

The Akona Jakarta is our pick for the best J-tube snorkel on the market. The J-shape naturally frames a diver’s face and proves to be an effective, simple snorkel. The J-tube itself is made of semi-rigid plastic, which is great for travelers who need to pack their snorkels.

The plastic Akona used to construct the tube is thick and feels durable. Without a splash guard, divers can breathe freely through the snorkel. There is a purge valve at the base of the snorkel for quick clearing. The simple, hardy design means this snorkel will last for a long time and prove to be a reliable piece of gear.

Things we like:

  • Simplistic, durable design ensures the snorkel will last for a long time
  • With no splash guard it is much easier to breathe
  • A semi-rigid plastic tube means the snorkel packs up for travel without fear of breaking

Things we don't like:

  • Debris may build up under the purge valve’s membrane
