Snorkels enable people to view the underwater world whilst breathing.
A snorkel is a device consisting of a tube and mouthpiece, used by people to get breathing air from the surface when their head is submerged under water. It is normally worn connected to the diver's or snorkeler's mask strap. Some scuba divers prefer not to have the snorkel attached to their mask, but rather stored elsewhere in their equipment, for use only when necessary. One place that the snorkel can be stored is attached to the diver's scuba tank.
Instructions
1. Assemble the scuba gear. Attach the buoyancy control device, or BCD, to the scuba tank and the regulators to the tank valve. Ensure that the tank strap placement allows for a snorkel to be attached lower down on the tank.
2. Slide two large elastic straps around the lower part of the tank. Make sure that the elastic is sufficiently tight to hold an item without sliding off the tank.
3. Wedge the snorkel under the elastic strap on the right-hand side of the tank. Position it so that it can be reached by the diver moving his hand behind his back. Don the scuba equipment to go diving.
