I did a dive the other day that began with a long surface scooter, and that was the first time in years I had the thought, "Hmm, a snorkel might have been handy here!"
I would have spent most of that time underwater where I am, and made someone else tow my gear!
I love freediving with a scooter.
In that case, since freediving would be what I would be doing, then I would have a snorkel. One advantage of not diving dry is the option to easily get the gear off when on the surface and use it like a raft. I simply never put my face in the water when swimming with scuba gear on. It's just not comfortable.
