A bottom of a mouthpiece 2 of a snorkel comprises a first base plate 16 having through-holes 22 for drainage and against which a non-return valve 7 bears from the outside, second base plates 17 spaced from the first base plate 16 toward a top of the snorkel so as to cover the through-holes and supports 18 extending between the first plate 16 and each of the second base plates 17. The interior of the mouthpiece 2 drainably communicates with the exterior thereof through openings defined between the first base plate 16 and each of the second base plates 17 and the through-holes 22, when the non-return valve 7 is opened.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A snorkel, comprising an upper pipe having an opening adapted to be located above a water surface, a mouthpiece adapted to be under the water surface during use of the snorkel, and an intermediate pipe connecting the upper pipe and the mouthpiece to allow for passage of air as well as water between the mouthpiece and upper pipe, wherein the mouthpiece includes a breathing seat in an upper portion thereof adapted to be held in a swimmer's mouth and a non-return valve in a bottom thereof adapted to be opened by the swimmer's exhalation breath,the mouthpiece bottom including a first base plate having through-holes located above the non-return valve allowing an interior of the mouthpiece to communicate with an exterior thereof, an upper surface of the non-return valve being seated against the first base plate so as to open or close the through-holes, second base plates spaced above the first base plate in the direction of the mouthpiece upper portion and covering the through-holes from the inside, and supports extending between the first base plate and each of the second base plates to vertically space the same from each other so that the interior of the mouthpiece drainably communicates with the exterior thereof through the through-holes and openings defined between the first base plate and each of the second base plates when the non-return valve is opened.
