I have a couple of snorkels, but I usually use my Bare. The clip always lives on my mask and I seldom use it when I’m diving, just when I’m snorkeling. Just as a note, a snorkel, no matter what type, makes a lousy straw for that jumbo sized cocktail you’ve ordered post dive.😉
great vid. My partner and i are preparing to get our ow cert. and are looking at the backplate and wing style for future configuration possibilities. do all wings have the same mounting locations for fitting to a backplate and if not can you just make your own hole in your backplate
yeah those full face are super shady, saw this girl while I was on vacation who lost her conscience because she kept rebreathing more co2 she almost drowned but luckily survived and she was in shock, I'd say keep them away from kids especially, I use a basic rollup snorkel and i love it , great video
There are so many cheap knock-off FFDM designs now that can be super dangerous, especially for children. I'm starting to see some with built-in cylinders which scream red-flags to me.
#AskMark, Happy Christmas! New to the sport. After a year I’ve finally pieced together my soft gear. What are the chances you all have old gear lying around collecting dust? I’d gladly provide it a loving home…never hurts to ask, right? But seriously thanks for the videos any SCUBA content is gladly appreciated. Safe Diving
#askmark I seen a few times now, you’ve got the Fourth Element Tech Fins in the rails behind. I’m seriously thinking about getting a set. Any chance of a review, or have you got any opinions on them? I currently use Hollis F2’s so am interested how they compare to them? Cheers
They're fine, they probably one of the lightest jet-fin style fins out there and they come in more interesting colours other than black. You probably won't notice a huge difference in performance but, I don't think you'll be disappointed neither. For most work they get the job done fine, back-kicking is the only place they felt a bit slippery and some divers find the springs a bit tight.
Really good advice and a great comprehensive look at the snorkel
Good video. Snorkels have improved greatly from 50 years ago. A good mask/snorkel makes snorkling more enjoyable.
super comprehensive and helpful, thank you!

I use a Sherwood Tiga. Harder to use because of the Valves
The one piece of kit I rarely use. Funny… PADI requires one for training.
so dose ssi

Me and the family all use dry snorkels.🤿
