Atomic Aquatics SV1 & SV2 Snorkels
The letters
SV stand for Scupper Valve.

When the
diver clears the SV1/SV2 a small watertight tube located inside
the snorkel body keeps the breathing airway path free of collected
water droplets. The one way valve or Scupper Valve simply allows
water to drain into a lower reservoir each time the diver exhales.
The result is a crisp clearing, hydrodynamic, snorkel without being
big, bulky, and uncomfortable to use.

SV1 & SV2:
How it works.
The Scupper Valve inside the SV snorkel series works in the same way
as the Scupper Valve on a boat. An internal tube (1) located inside
the main
snorkel body retains a small one way Scupper Flap Valve (2) that allows
water to flow past the mouthpiece and out the purge valve, (3) without
collecting at the bottom of the breathing passage. The diver simply exhales
a small
burst
of air to clear any water trapped below the mouthpiece, keeping the internal
tube airway dry. It’s so simple and so effective, we have a Patent Pending.
SV2:
High performance design with a Semi-Dry top.
The SV2 combines the Scupper Valve lower section with the sleek looking
SV2 Semi-Dry top. The SV2 Semi-Dry top horizontal vents (1) diffuse
splashed water (2) that would normally freely enter the snorkel top. The
small
gaps between the vanes of the vent restrict water speed and droplet size
and
permit most of the splashed water to exit the special vents (3) without entering
the breathing tube. Thus you get less water in your snorkel. The SV2
is the perfect answer for rough or choppy water conditions.
- Quick disconnect
snorkel keeper includes 30 degree rotation.
- Sliding snorkel
keeper range adjuster allows for accurate placement without constant
re-adjusting
each dive.
- Atomic
Aquatics’ international and award winning styling
team makes the SV1 and SV2 high performance snorkels something
you would be proud
to use.
