that actually wouldn't work. Try it someday if you don't believe me... The pressure as you go even as deep as 3-4ft under water is so immense that the air in your lungs will be pressurized significantly more than the air at sea-level. This prevents you from being able to use diaphragm and rib-muscles to inhale...
Damn that’s actually very smart hahaha. I might have to give that a try. I guess it’d be a bit cumbersome so that’s probably why you don’t see people using it but I have a great place I could try it so that’s pretty private so not one should bother me
When clearing a snorkel, there is no need to feel bound to clear it one time. Think of it as an exercise in not panicking, just relax, blow out, breath in just enough, blow out again....job done.
Ya one little problem with the fullface is it clamps to ur face really tight if u breathe in underwater accidentally, which is hard not to do since u cant accualy tell where the snorkel is at the top, and if u don't have enough air in ur lungs to breathe out and losen it, well u can't get the mask off or breathe
I just got a used us divers snorkel set eith finns a snorkel and goggles and i cleaned it very well and it was probably the best purchase ive ever made i use it almost every 2 days
Most boat companies here in Hawaii no longer allow full face masks to be worn on their tours because of the number of incidents that have occurred with them.
@@mohaglade4892 it has to due with dead space air making you recirculate c02 and run out of clean oxygen... getting fatigued and also seal leaks letting water into the mask due to being "full face"
Can you post a link to the foldable snorkel in the video ? I like the fact that it does not need external plastic case, like Aqualung Nautilus for example.
He did not cover the down sides of full face mask.. You can't pressurizing your eardrums when diving more then 1m. Added note. If you are a man that is rocking a beard and don't want to shave it off. Just put some Vaseline on your beard. This will make a positive lock on your face.
If you are going to be doing any beach entry dive where there is surf involved, like we have in Southern California, do not use a snorkel that has a flex section, it will twist and close off and when you inhale, you can’t get any air. The flex snorkels do have their place, just not a beach entry where you are going through surf!
interesting film, many people say that in a full-face mask you can not dive, it means to go to a depth of less than 1 m and this is due to buoyancy or pressure on the ears. In the film you can see that someone is swimming. I have 2 questions, the first is whether in the mask turning the face up, the valve will unlock and let water into the mask? second question, people with malocclusion having a problem with biting the mouthpiece of the tube (classic mask + tube solution) can buy a tube without having to bite when going under water?
Kinda late to this, but i never really bite my mouthpiece because i find it uncunfortable, i just lay my teeth on the mouthpiece and seal it with my lips. More then enough to keep water out.
I have a heart murmur so it’s quite hard to catch my breath anyways but I found that the tube was holding Co2 I nearly drowned 😂 what’s the best one for decent air 🤦🏽♂️🤣
How do you equalize with the full face if you are one of those people that have to plug their nose? I have seen full faces with rubber/flexible nose areas but most are not. My guess is those masks really are not for people who like to dive down past 5m.
What about the piece that goes into your mouth, do the ones on the cheap snorkels also create a 100% airtight seal, or does the water get into your mouth somehow after prolonged use?
That’s the most ridiculous advice I’ve ever heard regarding snorkels. I have over 800 dive/snorkel hours in all types of conditions, and I only use snorkels with purge and with float valves. I have high end gear and it has never failed me, and provides a vastly better dive experience.
Well, i was disappointed you didnt warn that flexible snorkel part can be squished by pressure when you dive more than 5 meters and does weird things to your toungue. I would never, ever advice anyone except kids under constant supervision to use full face mask, just because you cant remove it fast enough on emergency, on top, they are plastic and after a while become scratched as hell, unlike tempered glass of a normal mask that doesnt care that you leave it on sandy towel. And people diving footage with full face mask is extremply misleading and dangerous.
Only a snorkel filled with air will compress. Do away with the unnecessary and failure-prone “dry snorkel” gubbins and it won’t ever happen. The snorkel will fill with water but will drain via the purge valve and a modest puff outwards as soon as you surface. Keeping your tongue against the roof of your mouth will also totally stop water entering your mouth via a flooded snorkel.
@@RobObertelli true for snorkeL divers too. If you pass out or have an incapacitation at the bottom with the snorkel in your mouth, more water may enter in your mouth and possibly in your lungs, reducing chances of resuscitation. In any case, you don’t need a snorkel in your mouth at the bottom.
I understand the reasoning for it, but half a century of experience as purely a snorkel diver convinced me that it’s wrong. Regular snorkel divers don’t stay down for long and don’t go particularly deep. They’re at the surface long before there’s any apnea risk. Freedivers and those in other apnea disciplines are different. For them it may make sense. But again, my extensive experience has conditioned me to keep my mouth closed and tongue against the roof of my mouth without even needing to think of it. If I’m that deep and that short of breath to be at risk of passing out, then that’s my own bad miscalculation. But fiddling around during normal ascents to replace the snorkel into my mouth, without also disturbing my mask seal, whilst still underwater is a much bigger risk. I know; I tried following conventional wisdom and found it to be appalling advice: I had far more water trying to force itself into my mouth, airways and nasal sinus cavities than I’ve ever had before and far more flooded masks to clear and the latter is far less easy when you cannot take a lungful from a SCUBA regulator first. I find that your advice is often given by those who have SCUBA experience or are in the extreme world of apnea disciplines such as freediving. I can’t recall anyone who was purely a regular snorkel diver ever repeating it except to say that they tried it and found it far more risky for no gain.
Do the one way valves types clear as easy as the standard old fashioned type Please help? I wanted to up grade my 30 year old one but not sure if the new ones clear as easily
@@80s90sGuy Yeah, snorkelling and scuba diving are 2 different concepts. . The average total lung capacity of an adult human male is about 6 litres of air. The amount of air in a snorkel is next to nothing.
You might want to learn to use controlled exhaling for swimming before buying a mask or snorkel because you won't have equipment to keep you safe all the time- learning the basics is important.
I hate that floatation thing that closes the snorkel. It closes so easy at the slightest hint of anything. Its a so much worse feeling when you cant get air rather than getting a little water in to the bottom valve.
Mike Dragonpath i had one with the flotation thing and it did that all the time, then i got one with a flap that closes whenever there is water on the outside and its never failed me
@@auby3901 I've had Open water students come with this mask and think they don't have to master clearing the mask or think they don't have to use the fingers or tilt the head back to complete the skill and more often than not it makes it harder on them, just because the person that sold the mask told them so 😤
More incorrect and stupid remarks from someone who doesn't know the facts. A valved snorkel does not allow your exhalation to pass through the mushroom valve - the air expelled goes up the tube.
"This is only usefully for rescue and above" so your saying an open water diver can't bring another person out while giving rescue breaths? That made me angry
Snorkeling is better then just a giant tank on your back.Scuba diving is like cheating,instead of holding your breath to learn to go deep, you put a tank on your back instead.

Breathe in through the snorkle, breathe out somewhere else, nose or side of the mouth.
Can use touge to cap the snorkle while breathing out.

Added note. Don't let the vaso touch anything you want to see out of on the mask otherwise it will fog up non stop
You can pressurize using your tongue. The frenzied method.

I wonder how you equalise in a full mask set up?
you dont
Swallowing saliva, and doing a chewing like motion might help equalizing the pressure
Find the right snorkel, then take it off your dive mask and probably never use it.

Where is the ping-pong ball snorkel?
The more "stuff" you have, the greater the risk of s'thing going wrong.
What’s the name of the blue snorkel with the valve on the bottom?
My advice is to buy the simplest snorkel without a valve. They work way better!
What about the piece that goes into your mouth, do the ones on the cheap snorkels also create a 100% airtight seal, or does the water get into your mouth somehow after prolonged use?
@@Verradonairun they are fine.

So, all the footage of people underwater with a snorkel, are all holding their breath???
