I usually love the snorkels and masks I get here, and this mask is great, but the snorkel has a flexible section just before the mouthpiece, and somehow the mouthpiece collects a good deal of water, and I have to stop to empty it every few laps. Exhaling hard does not do the trick. I am a former certified scuba diver, so I know how to use snorkels. The end piece just to the right of the mouthpiece drains water when I clean the snorkel, but it does not seem to help eliminate the water collecting in the mouthpiece. Suggestions?
