Question 1

The dry top doesn't fit my snorkel. I used it for the first time in the pool today & when I flipped, it came off. Anyone else had this happen?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you didn't have it "seated" all the way in.  Look at the overlap in the picture.  You have to put the snorkel in hot water for a few minutes to get them to slide together or apart.  At the moment I have one that is actually stuck together that I've given up on trying to separate for the time being.  In any case the extra labor on your lungs feels weird & tiring even if you are extremely "fit" (I can swim over 19 miles in 9 hours in a pool).  I still would not recommend it to anyone even in rough seas, you are better off just blowing hard once in awhile to clear or plugging the top & blowing the water out of the purge valve once in awhile to clear.

Question 2

Is this compatible with finis freestyle snorkel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will fit, however, it makes it very difficult to breath. I took mine off. I do not recommend it..

Question 3

Fit any brand of snorkel?

Accepted Answer

This dry top is designed to fit the Finis Swimmers snorkel only. I returned the product because it restricted the air flow so much I could not breath with it in my snorkel.

Question 4

Anyone here can tell me how this add on works on flip turns? It protects from the water? Do we still have to blow air strongly get the water out?

Accepted Answer

Yes you should to blow air strongly to get the water out. However, I advise you to do the regular turn instead. Yes you will lose some speed but you will keep some energy.
