Any snorkels out there that are hydrodynamic? I'm gettin tired of mine slappin me in the head going up and down. Even thought about detaching it and leavin it at the surface.. I know somebody's figured something out

Instead of a snorkel keeper tuck it under the mask strap. To get it in and out of your mouth just turn it, it will not move out of position.

Doesn't that hurt the side of your head? I gots no hair and if I dive like that all day long- serious head ache. Maybe a softer snorkel?

All the snorkels I used were relatively soft, maybe avoid the ones with built in keepers, those would be harder. No, they won't hurt your head.

Instead of attaching it by your ear, attach to the mask strap after it separates. Sort of behind your head. Might take a little playing with get it comfortable. When you take the snorkel out of your mouth, it sits more behind your head - doesn't flop around as much.

I use an Omer Zoom snorkel. Works great and made out of soft rubber.

Oto has one for sale here if you're interested.
