If this is all stupid just drown me--wink. I have always equated skindiving and free diving as being one and the same. I see these activities as a form of breathhold diving where the diver often leaves the surface well behind and remains at depth quite long--say a minute or more and only surfaces to rest and recharge. On the other hand I see snorkling as primarily a surface activity involving only shallow dives. Is the a correct ascertion or am I wrong.
Also, when skindiving/freediving do most of you use snorkels. I don't use a snorkel and if I do I stuck it in my swimsuit or in a pocket on my diveskin suit. I find snorkels terribly aggravating for some reason. I like super small and low profile masks and full foot fins such as the Plana Plus (maybe I should not mention Force Fin Pros). I also use no flotation device other than towing a tube or a kayak (with a flag etc). I usually have my watch, a wrist depth guage and maybe a small knife on my arm or waist.
How do you guys do it and what equipement is your favorite. N
