    You snorkel so you can continually see what’s below you without holding your breath. Then you spit it out when you’re ready to dive.

      Don’t you mean you spit it out when you come back from the depths like a whale?

        If you black out with a snorkel in your mouth while you’re diving, it will cause water to rush into your lungs and you will almost certainly die.

          When you said “spit it out”, I thought you meant the water in the snorkel, rather than the snorkel itself. But thanks for that warning. I will make sure to not have the snorkel in my mouth when diving below snorkel depth.
