I just got back from a couple of wreck dives off Myrtle Beach SC last week. I was on cattle boat as a single and got buddied up by the DM with another diver. While doing our predive check overs, he does not have snorkel on his mask. I reply that I always keep mine on my mask just in case its needed. He says he never takes a snorkel on a scuba trip, just one more thing to keep up with. I glance around and notice half or more of the divers without snorkels just masks. I'm still new at this with about 25 logged dives in the last couple years with 4 boat dives under my belt but never paid any attention to divers having snorkels before. I always keep my snorkel on my mask for every dive. Just wondering if others do this also or am I just adding drag in the water and another piece of gear to keep up with.
