I bought the Oceanic foldup snorkel and tried it a couple of times. The problem is when I do use a snorkel it's when swimming on my back in heavy seas when I'm using lots of air, and the foldup tube was just not wide enough to provide enough air.
So, mostly if the seas are calm or diving off a boat I skip the snorkel. For shore diving with a long swim and some waves I take a non folding large bore Aqualung.
