I'm just curious. When you go diving - do you have a snorkel stuck on the side of your mask or not....??
Yes - I dive with a snorkel
Nope - I don't dive with a snorkel
Do you use a snorkel?

Depends on the dive. In a lake or quarry with relatively calm surface conditions, no. In the ocean, wreck diving & in areas of strong current, yes but not attached to the side of my mask. I have it in my BC pocket until I need to use it.
I recommend having a snorkel somewhere on your person, but I haven't had call for a snorkel while scubadiving since I can't remember when.
Wow, that is some serious filtering of the messages! lol ... it won't let me name the sport!

I use snorkels all the time, they make great gag gifts
Well I have to say I use my snorkel on the majority of my dives. I pretty much only shore dive so there is usually a nice surface swim and I don't like kicking on my back. I always get a sun burned in the shape of my mask whin I kick on my back and since sunscreen makes my mask leak I don't use it so I kick face down with a snorkel.
One other thing. The normal area I dive use to require you to have a snorkel so I got use to having one when it was the law. Just recently the law was changed so you don't have to have one.
Nope, no snorkel for me...
Mind you... they make pretty good straws for giant tropical drinks!
I don't use one when diving. For me, when diving less is better.
The last time I wore one on a D-D a sea lion pulled it off-along with my mask so I rarely wear it, just carry it along. I've seen snorkel bombs on the beach tho'
I will have to give that a try some timeOriginally Posted by Chantelle
