I am excited to show you my new snorkel I just bought. My above water talking / audio timing is off a bit but you can still hear and see my actions. I never knew that choking on water wasn't normal when snorkeling. I really thought that was just the way it was and how it always would be until i tried a better quality snorkel out and I simply knew I had to buy one. Today I try out the way snorkeling is supposed to happen, no choking, no surfacing and no water in the mouth. I try out different ways of floating and swimming and then go for underwater swims as I hold my underwater camera and never have to surface. My hair floats in the water loose and I even slip off my bra and panties all while breathing under water. I do have to surface a few times but not nearly as much as with my old snorkel. I then manage a few flips and swims without choking. I do wish it didn't take me so long to discover the right tools to snorkel the right and safe way. Better late than never.
