pilot fish:I see a lot of divers without their snorkels, new divers tend to have them attached, and was wondering if the more experienced divers were not using them becsuse they didn't want to look like a newbie, or just don't see the need for them. How anybody would not wear one doing a drift dive is puzzling
Who is running out of air? If you run out of air, are you diving beyond your skill level, or not watching the gauges?rstone:However if your diving in the ocean I think its probably smart. If you should run out of air and the waves start to get choppy you might wish you had one.

NauticalbutNice:Maybe not but I can see your point.
But just because you have a snorkel doesn't mean you won't take in water. I prefer not to have a snorkel in rough seas. That's just the way I am.
And remember - a snorkel's just a plastic tube. It isn't going to save you from drowning.

Not with the OCEANMASTER 2000, the "most advanced snorkel in the world"!!! Ha ha, I have three of the amazing things. Only way water gets in those things is through the mouthpiece. With this AMAZING DEVICE strapped to my head, I s****** at chop, swells, and surf. Yeehaw!!Far_X:. If waves are crashing over my head, a snorkel will be of no use in this situation.
