That's a great way to spend your safety stop. I might have to start carrying a snorkel again just for that purpose!!!
I knew snorkels were good for something!

"A submarine snorkel is a device that allows a submarine to operate submerged while still taking in air from above the surface. It was invented by the Dutch shortly before World War II and copied by the Germans during the war for use by U-Boats. "

Do not bring a foldable snorkel to a snorkel fight. It doesn't work too well.
Foldable snorkels are for slashing-type attacks on boat rides and during surface intervals. On the other hand, they put you at a significant disadvantage at thrusting/stabbing attacks, which are significantly more useful underwater (where a slashing attack would be rendered ineffective by the water's drag).
I think I'll have to recommend carrying one of each and learning when and how to use each effectively. (Above the surface, a slashing attack with the mouthpiece end of a folding snorkel can redirect a thrusting attack by a non-folding snorkel and, if done effectively, even disarm the opponent.)

The Polish navy also copied the Germans, but they could never make one long enough to be effective when the sub had to dive.
