Hi, I've been looking for information on snorkeling technique for a wile, and have come up with very little. I meen; how much is there to know except for practicing?
I'm normally scuba diving and there are differences.
My main concerns are:
* equalizing the mask - maybe not needed at all. Some use goggles
* equalizing the ears. I have a problem doing this with the snorkel in my mouth, it's much easier with a regulator. How come? Maybe, because there is less counter preassure in the snorkel. How is it best done?
* Should one use the snorkel just on the surface, removing it going down?
* Is there a good/easy way to clear the snorkel coming up?
OK, that's enough for now...
