I use a snorkel at times during a surface swim or when just hanging out on the surface and I finally found a great one...the Tusa Platina Hyperdry II. I snorkeled before I started diving (and still snorkel occasionally) and have gone through several snorkels ranging from the no-frills j-shaped, to expensive "fully dry" snorkels...all of which had some problem or another. The Hyperdry II is the first one that I have been completely happy with. Contrary to the Hyperdry's name, it's a semi-dry snorkel. It is low profile, aquadynamically designed, lightweight, has a clip for easy removal from mask (and it folds up), it clears easily, looks cool, breathes well, has a comfortable mouthpiece, and for once the plastic piece on the end of the bore is more than just a splash guard...I would say it reduces flooding by over 50% compared to a typical snorkel. If anyone is looking for a good dive snorkel (or just a good snorkel period) I highly recommend this one.
I had one of those for years and they are nice for snorkeling, though I still prefer my rollup snorkel to carry on dives. I used to fold the hyperdry and stuff it in a pocket, but between aging and too much folding it split where it got folded. (So I swiped my husbands hyperdry for snorkeling.

I am partial to Coasties and P.J's, because they carry band-aids and are like 911 for Seals, Rangers, Recon, and Pilots.
It's all about fun folks!
