...the snorkel alert panel is flashing code red.....the snorkel war is going critical...
bm9: I never use it. The local charters by us don't require them, it gets in the way, and I would rather keep the reg in my mouth if the water is choppy.
Thats what is referred to as exercising your right as an American to freedom of choice, notwithstanding any threats to good order and civil harmony...i see no likelyhood of the snorkel police swooping down to bust your local charter operation and other dens of inequity. So your safe for now....but be careful and keep your nose clean
SeaJay:
The point was that I didn't need or even want one, given the exact scenario where people had quoted that having a snorkel nearly meant the difference between life and death.
I and other casual snorkel users may not agree fully with you on all points, but dammit well defend your right to state your opinion....even if its wrong.
Now why in the world would anyone have "some sort of irrational gear nationalism?" That's one of the silliest things I've heard on this board.
no, theres sillier things on this board. Otherwise all lot of people would get bored.
I don't dig snorkels, man. That's all.
Why, what are you afraid of? What are you running from man? Chill out..were friends here.
Look... Try wearing one while you are talking on the phone. Pretty pointless, eh? Silly? Yes... Annoying? Of course. And just as useful when diving as talking on the phone. It can be rationalized that it's a good idea to wear a snorkel while talking on the phone... You know, just in case there's a flood.
To me, wearing a snorkel while diving is exactly as irrational.
Lets just say regarding snorkels your a Platonist and im an Aristotlian and when we argue the subject of telephones keep coming up, and no one knows why cuz it shouldnt.
If you're going to use a snorkel while you scuba dive, why not carry a secondary air source when you snorkel? Likewise, let's find real situations where secondary air sources have set fire to buildings and buggered innocent snorkelers.
...i knew it. I knew pony bottles would get dragged into this mess. All hell is gonna break loose.... classic tactic seajay...trying to open the war on two fronts...
I'm interested in finding out why you think this thread is about "gear fascism" instead of simply understanding that some of us don't like to use snorkels when scuba diving.
A lot of snorkellers on this board see the statements of the anti-snorkellers as a cry for help. We are just here to help you.....now calmly go back to when you first found you had this fear of snorkels.....
I wonder what Dr. Freud would have thought about you finding sexual references to a piece of plastic tubing.
And i quote sometimes a snorkel, is merely a snorkel
