How did a topic in a manufacturers forum go from
toAny chance that you guys might be developing a practical folding snorkel? As a PADI instructor, standards say the we must have a snorkel "on us"any chances that you will be making one?

Also how are you verifying that they are using the compass properly? They swim in a straight line? How do you know they are not cheating?
