[Choose #5] I carry one or wear for teaching but haven’t ’used’ one for diving in over 20 years
|
|
|
[Choose #5] When diving from shore or when long surface swims may be required or in rough surface conditions, absolutely. For boat dives where a lot of surface swimming is unlikely then probably not so much.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Always keep one in my kit and a spare mask and snorkel just in case.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] They just get in the way!
|
|
|
[Choose #5] If I’m diving in kelp and have to surface swim, I like a snorkel so I can see the kelp rather than back into it
|
|
|
[Choose #2] It sits in my gear bag only.

[Choose #5] I use full face mask, carry a snorkel and xtra mask in my pocket
|
|
|
[Choose #3] Sometimes you just need one....
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Yes Always when Open water diving, Never while Cave or Cenote diving
|
|
|
[Choose #5] If seas are rough I bring one along for surface breathing, especially on drift diving while waiting for the boat pickup.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] never!! not much use in a cave.....
|
|
|
[Choose #5] only wear and use one in rough ocean and drift dives. Never in cave or cavern dives
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I normally dive in the caverns of North Florida and a snorkel in an overhead environment is worthless.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I think i am gonna quit wearing it though as i never use it and keep grabing it instead of my bcd inflator! LOL
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Depends on the dive site. I usually don’t anymore unless I know I’ll have a long surface swim or some surf
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Wear and use for recreational dives, do not wear when diving as a public safety diver.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] Being a new diver I always wear one
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Either a snorkel or tanks, never mixed. And, best snorkel is a simple tube of sufficient diameter.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] carry a pocket snorkel
|
|
|
[Choose #2] the only time i wear one is if seas are rough
|
|
|
[Choose #5] They are a tool, like any other pice of scuba equipment. I use one only when teaching (standards) or when diving where the water may become unexpectantly rough to protect the airway
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Only in Laguna Beach, CA when a lifeguard is present, because they are snorkel nazzis!
|
|
|
[Choose #5] When in the ocean. Going to get a foldable one though.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] Primarily only for class but I do dive with one operator in Playa that requires them to be on his boat.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Folding snorkel in BC pocket but never use. Since it has no purge valve it could also be used for rescue breathing while still in the water.

[Choose #5] Keep one rolled up in my pocket, but it has yet to come out. I don’t carry one cave diving for obvious reasons.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Foldable in the pocket. Hardly ever used.
|
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I keep a foldable snorkel in my pocket but rarely use it

[Choose #5] I keep a foldable snorkel in my pocket but have never used it.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I wear one in Ocean only for safety. Also, they are nice to have in Lakes and Rivers during surface intervals.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] It’s good to have one. I have a folding one I keep in a pocket for when needed.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I always have mine but haven’t used it very often. I haven’t done any ocean dives yet where I believe they would be very beneficial.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I’ll wear one when it’s a long swim through shallow water to the drop off or during doing safety diver for local triathlons.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Unless speaking I keep a snorkal in or regulator in my mouth, I find myself relaxed on the surface and never get a mouth of salt water.
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Not absolutely necessary, but I use mine almost all the time when I am swimming on the surface, to the boat, to the down line, etc.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I was on 2 group trips from another board where members were vocal about divers not needing snorkels. Conditions requireing snorkels left some gasping for air.
