Snorkeling Just Got A Major Makeover Thanks To The Tribord Easybreath

subea.com/innovation/easybreath-snorkeling-face-mask-tp_3001

This cool new innovation of the snorkel mask lets you breathe easier and more comfortable in the water. Wih regular mask, when you put it on your nose gets pinch so that you do not breathe through it. Which is unnatural for most people. I can breathe either or interchangeably. Easybreath covers your entire face including mouth and in doing so, let's you breathe through your nose normally under water. It also has a tube that closes automatically to prevent water flowing in and the same time allows for the water to be pushed out.

It only lasts a few seconds in the air and costs between $100,000 and $150,000
