i would like to start a thread to openly discuss the dangers of snorkling so that all may benifit. firstly i am an amature. but an enthusiast. im trying to track down some good books to read up. anyone have any hazardous conditions that have happened or stories to share? i love a good story.my typical experience are limited to mask and snorkle falures, and fishing line(no knife with!). ive also been out way way to long in the water to the point i could barely get back to shore(i think in excess of 4hours!). anyone got any better stories..

oh and ive had afew close calls with jellyfish.
