We're supposed to dive with a snorkel? In all seriousness I asked during my AOW training dives if standards required I have a snorkel with me, or if I have to actually have it attached to my mask. I was told it had to be attached to my mask, to which I asked if I could attach it to my spare mask. I absolutely hate snorkels.
OK then here comes the obvious question..
How do YOU hold your hose?
Excuse me!

If I'm diving in Laguna Beach where the law requires a snorkel in your possesion I duct tape it to the back of my tank. The rest of the time it's buried somewhere in my garage until I decide to go snorkelling.
