How to Use A Snorkel Underwater?

Question

I want to know how to use a snorkel under water. I can use it close to the top but when i go deep I can't breath at all. Is there any way please help.

Answer 1

snorkels arent meant to keep you breathing while its under water. Its to help work on your head position while your swimming, so that way you can work on it with out worrying to breathe!

Answer 2

Scuba diving? lol I don't know but if you're planning on going really deep the you should scuba dive

To keep the snorkel upright while you are swimming face down on the surface, the snorkel strap will need to be adjusted properly on the mask strap. Since the snorkeler cannot see the snorkel while it's in use, it may be helpful to have someone watch you and help you find the proper adjustment. For me, it's with the strap well forward, almost against the mask. Now you can swim along the surface, breathing through the snorkel and observing the world below. When you see something interesting you can hold your breath and dive down to have a closer look. In order to stretch your time below, it is important to be relaxed and not expending a lot of energy. It also helps to be able to get down quickly. To start down, rotate your body so that you can put your head straight down and stick your legs straight up and out of the water. Then let gravity do its thing and you should be on your way down without moving a muscle. When your downward speed has deteriorated you can begin kicking to continue. For the return to the surface, tilt your head back and watch where you are going. You wouldn't want to bang your head on the bottom of a boat. You should reserve enough air in your lungs so that after you break the surface--with your head still back so that the open end of the snorkel will be pointing down--you can send a quick burst of air through snorkel to help expel any remaining water. And you are ready to continue swimming on the surface, face down, breathing through the snorkel. Scuba divers are taught to ascend with one hand stretched upward to prevent striking an object with one's head and also to be more visible to boat traffic when surfacing. It's not a bad idea for snorkelers to do the same.You can go here...
