When cave diving I don't use a snorkel, however with most of my ocean dives being shore dives, I wear a snorkel. 1. It's more pleasant to snorkel to the dive site face down to see to underwater world. 2. If something out of the ordinary happens and low gas is a factor, then there are scenarios where a snorkel could be an advantage. So, overall to me... I'd rather have a snorkel in open water situations.
#Ask mark.. I have been diving for 15 years 10 years as a commercial diver.. I recently lost my left hand and part of my arm in a accident.. trying to get back into recreational diving i'm getting some push back from some dive operators not letting me dive saying that I would need a dive master to dive with me because I would not be able to perform a self rescue. What do you think???
i'm surprised no ones invented a collapsible snorkle. if you think about those collapsible cups where you push down and it shrinks. you can carry it on the side of your mask and extend it when you need too. there would be no drag and when you reach for your inflator you wouldn't grab your snorkel, same feel.
#AskMark Soon to complete BSAC Dive Leader (50m) and then onto accelerate deco course with twins afterwards. Currently Suunto EON Core user and confused on algorithms Buhlumann vs RGBM2, what is the difference and how will this affect my diving? Also why the love for Shearwater with hate for Sunnto?
I have a poseidon se7en rebreather, but I've only dove it for my class. Can I utilize any of the equipment for open circuit dives? (Bcd) It is so hard to find closed-circuit dive buddies. #askmark
What's your philosophy on calling a (buddy) dive? I realize, like me, you probably already have an established network of dive buddies - where you're both familiar with each other's dive style, experienced, and therefore less likely to call a dive. This question is more as advice for viewers who end up with insta-buddies.

Better to be looking at it than for it.
Thank you for answering my question, carrying a snorkel while scuba diving is a rare scenario for me too
Thanks for answering my question! You opinion matches perfectly with my understanding of the 2 computers capabilities.
Like the new format
FYI, the Suunto EON Steel and Black give you the option of up to 10 gasses, should you need that many....

Thanks for answering my question! One additional question: when ice diving, do you always need to dive with a twinset?
Not necessarily, but two regulators!
H valve on a single is an option
