I started my DM stamina tests the other day. So far so good. Did the tired diver tow on snorkel. Even though I scored a 4, the last 30ft was a killer. Could not get enough air through the snorkel. That led to taking shorter faster breaths which caused more issues...not clearing the CO2. Could not wait to spit that thing out. By the way, this was on a folding Omega snorkel (this could be the problem too).
That being said, is there a larger diameter snorkel on the market that would make life easier or would using a "real" snorkel make any difference. I understand the larger diameter will make clearing more difficult. I have the 800 yd snorkel swim coming up and want to make things a little easier. Thanks for the input.
