Humor me. After our snorkel class, tell me if you learned proper snorkel use.

I'll humor you...and try YOUR snorkel class...however I love my 'remote' aka DRY SNORKEL so you'll have your work cut out for you!!!!

After learning to use a real snorkel, you'll love it. You'll also love the price.

A real snorkel eh? I own about 5 of the things....so the price is already right!! LOL!!!

I agree with WW...I hate snorkels and only use one when I absolutely have to. I think this is because both of us are used to diving the NC wrecks where a snorkel is more of a liability than an asset.

My equipment:

Vyper computer (wrist style love it!)
Mares BC (bought is used for $50...it does the job but I'll be glad when I can get a better one)
Aeris fins
Bare wetsuits/skins/hoods
Atomic Regulator (LOVE IT!!!)

[Walter]

I rarely use a snorkel either, but when I do, I want it to be a simple J.

Yes....in NC with possible current or just getting tangled up in ropes and lines...they are far more of a hazard then asset. Most people stick them on their leg with thier knife...
