I hated having that thing slapping around my head all the time. Now, Ijust carry a folding snorkel in my BC pocket. It might be a bit cumbersome to pull out if I'm wearing 5mm gloves, but at least it's there.

When I have been out diving I have seend (also in pictures etc) that some wears a snorkel and some not while SCUBA diving.
How do you do? Why?
I keep a rolled up one in a small pouch on my waist. It is actually a legal requirement to have a snorkel, along with cutting device and surface marker where I live so no choice really. I still carry one when I travel though.
I wouldn't want to dive with it hanging off my mask the whole time.
