I have never found that to be true. I'm not really sure what you mean by a granny or a tag line, but I world with all sorts of lines all of the time, tending lines, buddy lines, search lines, safety lines, jon lines, etc., etc., etc. and I can not think of a single time that I have ever had any of them tangle in my snorkel ... it's just never happened. It's the same with a long hose, I've never had my snorkel get in the way of deploying it. Perhaps that's because I know it's there and I automatically compensate for it, but that's exactly the point ... such compensation is so easy that it can be accomplished subliminally, without effort or conscious attention.Thal:
I got blown of course earlier. My problem with even the big bore Farallon types was that when the mouth piece was turned away to make room for the 2nd stage we ended up with sail in the current. As well as a tube that no longer wraps nicely behind the head which can conflict with a granny or tag line and can create all those other issues I described earlier. The snorkel is not properly affixed when SCUBA is in use.
In any event, that is when I put the Healthways behind my knife strap. Eventually gave it up altogether.
