Snorkeling safely: How our CO2-safe children's snorkel mask can prevent accidents

The tragic incident at Losheimer See, where a seven-year-old boy lost his life due to a defective snorkel mask, has drawn the attention of many parents and guardians. This unfortunate event once again highlights the absolute necessity of taking our children's water safety seriously—especially when choosing the right snorkeling equipment.

For years, we’ve been raising awareness about the potential dangers of CO₂ buildup in snorkel masks, a phenomenon known as pendulum breathing.

Pendulum breathing can occur when exhaled CO₂ is not effectively expelled from the mask and is instead inhaled again. This can lead to a dangerous drop in oxygen levels in the blood, which can be especially harmful to children, whose respiratory systems are not yet fully developed.

To spread this critical information and support informed decision-making, we created an in-depth YouTube video that clearly explains the dangers of CO₂ accumulation in snorkel masks. It demonstrates why it is so important to choose a mask specifically designed with the safety and protection of young snorkelers in mind. This video was published a full year before the incident. Discover which snorkel masks with serious design flaws are still circulating on the market. 

In response to these concerns, we developed our snorkel mask for children, which is not only thoroughly tested for CO₂ safety but also specifically designed to minimize the risk of pendulum breathing. Our masks feature:

• Complete CO₂ Safety: Using advanced ventilation technology, we ensure that exhaled air is effectively expelled from the mask, eliminating the risk of CO₂ buildup.
• Child-Friendly Design: Our masks are tailored to the anatomical needs of children, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
• Social Trust: The best-selling children's snorkel mask on Amazon for years – with incredibly positive customer feedback.

We strongly believe that no child should be exposed to unnecessary risk from poorly designed snorkel masks. Our children’s snorkel masks are at the forefront of ensuring your loved ones’ safety.
