Great video, thank you! I really like the style of your videos. I think you're the Electroboom of freediving videos. If you don't know what that means: Electroboom is a very experienced and knowledgeable electrical engineer with a popular RUclips channel about all things electrical. His style and editing are often funny and flippant, but it's obvious that he is a master of his craft and I've learned a lot watching his videos. My gf loves snorkeling and swimming under water (as long as we're in tropical warm water coral reefs), but she absolutely hates snorkels, because the mouthpieces are so uncomfortable for her that she'd rather just have a mask and hold her breath to peek down at the coral and the fishes. It sounds exhausing - I can comfortably float around the reef's edge for hours breathing through my snorkel and have enough energy left to dive down and follow the turtle or find the hidden crayfish, while she's basically doing breathhold after breathhold at the surface. I'll see if I can find her a snorkel with a softer and narrower mouthpiece to see if that suits her. Is there anything you'd recommend?
Great vid, another important I would say VERY important aspect of this is that God forbid the diver pass out ( shallow water blackout or similar ) if the snorkel is out of the mouth more than likely the mouth of the diver will be shut thus preventing water to rush into your lungs. NOW what happens if the diver pass out with the snorkel in his mouth ? The snorkel will literally facilitate water rushing to your lungs ! VERY dangerous, I would say is the most dangerous aspect of diving with the snorkel in the mouth.
I found it weird diving with a snorkel in my mouth. Good thing I don't know how to dive deep yet. I was wondering how come it is so popular to put salt water in your mouth. Thanks for clearing it up. So 5 min break for 20min of just snorkeling, will use that advice.
