Breathing from a 30ft. snorkel

[Stoy D Dabbs]

This reminds me years ago I saw a guy on the news, He try to go after his car keys from the dock, With a garden hose in his mouth, He came up unconscious, They said it was 30 feet deep there.

Why does it have to be 30' from a snorkel?.. Why not 100' or 1,000'?

Have you priced garden hoses/snorkels per foot these days?

costi,
The answer to your question: at only 2 feet deep, a human being does not have the muscular strength to inhale against the pressure of water.
Undoubtedly, you have taken note to how short snorkels are - there was a reason for this.
