Why a snorkel?

[mongodives]

I hope you supported you online retailer getting those split fins.

You left out: "CO₂ retention device".

... hummm... a MAJOR CONCERN I'm sure... that's probably why snerkler's use em'...

Freedivers, at least, intentionally hyperventilate. Something I'd never want to do with scuba. YMMV.

... ah... very true Grasshopper... but then one doesn't NEED to keep the snerkel in one's yap when said yap is otherwise employed... one only needs the keep the snerkel in one's yap when said yap is being employed for snerkelish activities... and at that point... CO2 should be minimal... but, even snerkelin'... the snerkel isn't glued to yer mug... rolling over on your back and suckin' in some good sea air from a reposed postion is also perfectly acceptable...

I never worry about running out of air since I got my new split fins. What say you?

Just make sure you get your air from an LDS. The air from LP is gray market and is not supported by the manufacturer.

So should I use a regular octo or use a long hose and a bungeed backup?

I thought you were using the Mistral.

I am, just figured if we were going to get into the usual SB stuff, I would throw my troll in.

 

[rstofer]

I knew that... I just wanted my troll shot as well!

I picked up a VDH Mistral the other day. I am really looking forward to using it!
