Hey guys I'm looking into getting one of these for both snorkeling and diving. Was wondering if anyone here has any experience with these and what are your thoughts on em. So far what I've gathered is that Scubapro old version was defective. Dont know have they fixed it by now.

I own the Atomic for snorkeling, I like it, it works, it's comfortable and matches my mask (super important). Downside, it's expensive.
I have the SV2 also and I like it just fine for snorkeling. I stopped using it for diving right after I finished my OW certification.
If I feel the need to carry a snorkel when diving, I put the XS Scuba Cargo Snorkel in a pocket. It rolls up nicely. The breathing tube is made out of silicone, so it flattens and rolls up, but still expands back into a tube when you unroll it.

Knowing what I know now, I would probably buy the XS Scuba snorkel first and use that until such time as I found I wanted something "better". However, I have to admit that since I have had the XS Scuba snorkel I have not actually USED it. In fact, so far (in my admittedly somewhat limited experience), I have never actually used a snorkel when in the water for scuba diving.

I had a fold up pocket snorkel once, the one time I went to use it had split, presumably from being folded. Nice. The only time my snorkel gets time out from storage is when doing liveaboards, need something to do during SI. I've not used a snorkel when diving for many, many years.
