Is snorkel really worth it?
Is snorkel really worth it? The snorkel ensures the air coming into the engine is clean and cool – keeping out any particles that would get in the way of the engine doing its job – as well as taking the strain away from your air filters. Engines usually take air from the engine bay, so snorkels are in fact giving the engine more of what it needs.
What happens if snorkel goes underwater?
Unlike scuba diving where you have your own air supply, snorkels don't let you breathe while you are fully submerged in the water. The breathing tube can fill up if it dips below the water's surface, for example, a wave splashing over you, or if you dive underwater to get a closer look at marine life.
When should you not snorkel?
Choppy waters are not ideal for snorkeling, especially; if you're not a proficient swimmer. Wavy waters will bounce you around, and you'll experience diminished underwater visibility because of increased moving debris and sand. Waves also influence the ease and safety of getting in and out of the waters.
