Uhh uhh uhh you said "rigid tube" uhh uhh...

Philip Jones do you actually use it lol

Scoop missed the joke

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...

@@HarryPotter-kd3bh woosh

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

Thanks Frank! 👍

That’s the reason I don’t want one

I do not trust any dive shop that sells or recommends these.

Vision Vlogs dope lol

How do people suffocate using those masks ? and Is It safe for surface diving ?

@@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"

It's a shop. They need to sell.

@@vatoloco744 and kill

The mask looks completely unnatural.

Doc Holliday he did say it’s only great for surface

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.

Why?

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.

you dont

Swallowing saliva, and doing a chewing like motion might help equalizing the pressure

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.

I like those snorkels, I like the simple things.

True... I used the one with purge valve in the bottom and that was tricky

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.

SNOCO

SNORCOWL

like wich one u should use

I have a full dry snorkel. clears very easily. just blow!

I've got one with a purge valve and it clears quite well, because the water is ejected through a shorter route.

Only on the surface

Snorkeling seems much more fun and natural then scuba diving.

The more "stuff" you have, the greater the risk of s'thing going wrong.

No

@@blomkillen you might have just saved a life... Now I see why people die in them and its probably not the masks fault!

i hope you also get grammar on the way there

Mens pockets, yes. womans pockets, absolutely not

Yes

Yes, unless the tip of the snorkel is above water

Why have i always thought that they had some sort of, one-way ball in the snorkel, which allowed a small amount of breathing???

@@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.

@@bl0ckymonkey how was he hyperventilating with just a face mask on.??

You should not keep a snorkel in your mouth when you dive down.

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.

@@stefpix True for SCUBA divers, not true for snorkel divers.

@@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.

True, but the purge valve is nice. Gotta put less effort into it to put out the water after you dive down.

@@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 😤

@@karimgodoy Talking about the purge on the snorkel, not a mask. It just makes it so you don't gotta blow out as hard to get the water out of it.

@@auby3901 lol I was thinking on that obnoxious purge valve on masks, the snorkel works! The mask one ehhhhh.....

So ... a mask.

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.

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

@@Ben-wf8rl I prefer to keep it open and just have splash protection. I use the Scubapro Fusion Pro and love it.

@@Ben-wf8rl witch one?

@JASON VOORHEES Scubapro Spectra Dry is the one i dont like. And Scubapro Fusion Pro is the one i use.

We're you trained to provide rescue breaths during your OW training?

@@jjohn8989 no, of course not, but I made a life guard training before I even started diving were I learned all this...

Why Why Whhhhhy

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.
