Subject: Cheap And Nasty Snorkel extension
From: "Don White" I've wondered about the small bottles of compressed air complete with a mouthpiece that emergency crews might carry. Not sure if they are for 'fire' use or to revive a patient. Could they be used for Lloyd's application? Perhaps, but there are so expensive (about $200 http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...eferer=CHEAP01) and they hold so little gas that you would be better off getting a "real" scuba rig. Capt.

Wow! Is that 200 'merican dollars??
Probably not a big deal to Lloyd but a bit much for a poor Maritimer :-) LaBomba182 wrote in message ...

The difference at 3' is only about 1.5 pounds per square inch GA but the water is pressing on a couple thousand square inches of lung GA surface. The real problem is the "dead volume" in your snorkel. You will be inhaling your own breath over and over again. L No, the real problem is just as Glenn has stated. L Capt. Bill Maybe. People have tried longer snorkels before and died from it. That's a real problem in my book. -- Strange attractors stole my wife |
