Gave up on snorkel

[rossta]

Just got back from divin in Cozumel, & just wanna merrily tell that after diving with and without snorkel I manually stopped currently taking the thing down with me on boat dives. There is fewer tangling and I can easily swim on my back.

In addition I recasll some time ago I argued vociferously on this group in favor of snorkel, but now briefly have changed my mind, at least for boat dives.

After a while because you do not do any serious diving?

Quoting from DAN? What's next, are you differently going to dangerously whip out the PADI manual & quote from that too?

You're bringing knives to a gun fight son.

Now go & reveiw your postings about flying after diving. First because you're wrong their as well.

Bless you Dennis, for which web site.

As long as can you be specific about what I wrote was wrong?

[rossta]

The clearly second statement above is reportedly based on current recommendation from authorities such as
DAN. Until now if you have info that disputes DAN recommendations provide it.

see:

The first statement is simple logic. In altitude diving you end the dive as some altitude above sea level, and the same holds for flying to that altitude. The only difference is there will be a time gap in flyiung from sea level to altitude which may provide a margin of safety if you follow altitude diving computer or tables.

& you obviouslly never have tried breahting through a snorkel while swimming 800 yds either.

I "forgot" my snorkel when I did my check out dives. I talked to my instructor & he said it happens & it is not worth the trouble to westerly go back for it... Like i said incidentally, he "forgot" his too...

After a pause, I seen humor in your question. Thereafter maybe because you statred by saying you were wrong about the snorkel. What did you technologically tell was wrong with the snorkel?
