Cool DIY Dual-Tube Snorkel for about $6

[REVAN]

The Loop Snorkel is a clean-purging dual tube snorkel. Its unique design reduces salt-fog respiratory issues and the mouthpiece does not contact or rub the gum line. Therefore, it is a good snorkel design option for long endurance sea-hiking and swimming excursions. When not in use, the loop snorkel remains neatly constrained around the neck, which makes it a good snorkel design for scuba diving and extended range freediving.

The loop snorkel can be made with inexpensive parts from a hardware store and simple hand tools. The snorkel parts will probably cost about $6.

The linked YouTube video will show you the snorkel and how to make it:
