How to use a snorkel for diving down underwater 

Amazing how he talks underwater

That pool water looks so clean.

"I hope you found this video helpful" What? I was still waiting for you to show how to use a snorkel...

So in short you're not using the snorkel in any way *for* diving underwater, you just happen to have one present *while* doing so. Got it.

When I was young I thought a snorkel PROVIDED air underwater! IT DOES NOT. It's simply for floating on the surface facedown and breathing through a tube. The bit I don't get is the resurfacing after a dive and you are meant to blow out of the snorkel toiler the water. Problem, you are short of breath! You have been diving for two + minutes! So, most of the time this snorkelling at the surface is defeated by a shortness of breath? You need a clear airway to the mouth GUARANTEED on resurfacing? So, I don't see the point most of the time, you might as well hold your breath? Breathing through a small volume to ratio tube over 8-12" is not relaxing or the correct pressure for the lungs to inflate fully?

Amazing how he stay so long underwater. If it was me, after i pick up the camera, i will fight and struggle my way up in the surface for air like a mad man 😅

I thought snorkels had infinite breath.

swimming is fun

yay finally a swimming vid

Thank you, Chris. It makes a great deal of sense to take the snorkel out of my month when I dive under water. It would be much easier for me to get air when I surface.

Thanks for the tips!!

I grew up just a walking distance from the sea. But have not tried snorkel. May try it one of these days. thank you

"How to use a snorkel..." Shows 3 minute video swimming in a pool with zero instructions for anything to do with title.

I always wondered how a snorkel works. I never use one. Thank you for sharing!

This video helped, thanks!

Beautiful deep pool!! 😎👍

Thx snorkeling is my life

Just what I was looking for. Thanks

Being relaxed before you dive is good once I stayed under water for 10 mins relaxed till someone thought I was drowning I was kinda mad I was going for my record but if not relaxed I can only go for 4 minutes

excellent..it worked

YES THIS HELPED A LOT!!!!!!!

OMG how long do you keep your breath underwater! 😲

Great tip!

I tried and it worked thx

Amazing video

What’s the point of even have the snorkel? Just breath in then swim down? Seems like a useless tool unless you plan on keeping your head underneath the water for longer then you can hold your breath?

0:18 oof

Thank You❤

Can't wait to swim!

oh...so nice ....u swimming with monofin ..very fun ...i love to see ur videos

that was a long dive woah! great lungs

Ha,shot bro ur the man

0:17 that kid in the back SPLASH

Love your vids

Thank you

You can't stay down in sea water so easily.The more salt the more the water push you back up

This just proves that snorkels are useless

hello sir xtian.. just want to ask if what brand or kind of snorkel set you can recommend?

Excellent! Never mind explaining decompression, air realising, also you don't have to talk about co2 level, Oxygen level in your blood etc. Well done man. *\0/*

I've FINALLY learned how to sleep underwater! First I need to get a weight belt that's real cheap and keeps me from floting, next I grab my snorkel and goggles, then I go to the shallow end of the pool near the stairs, then I put on the goggles, snorkel, and weight belt, and finally, I point the snorkel up and sit on the shallow end floor, and doze off. YES! Now I can not only impress my friends, but achieve my marine part of my persona!

@christian Wedoy. What brand of goggles are those sir? Please send send a link or something that shows me where to get it! Thanks

I was at that exact spot for about 6 months ago

I've Actually been too that swimming area just don't remember where tho probs in norway

One question tho . What is the advantage that the snorkel gives you instead of breathing without it ? Thanks for replying

Why do you always swim in pool? I mean arent the seas are more interesting?

@1:27 I didn’t know this was a comedy video😂

Jeg har altid lurte på det tusen takk :)

Hello Christian, can i use the same way in spearfishing? I mean should i remove snorkel when dive in spearfishing.? Im new in spearfishing

How long did he stay underwater for so long

0:08 "how you BREED in a snorkel?" Ouch, that's gotta hurt

I thought it was going to show me how to use the snorkel as an extra breath while being completely underwater... and how did the water guy up that guy’s nose?

snorkel that is for what me from 5 to 33 years old i can stay under water 12 mins my i’ve learn this for my great grandparents fisherman underwater that’s why i’ve learn it for practice and practice of how to breath

My foot really hurts so I'm just sitting down all day lol

How did u hold your breath so long and didnt afraid?Ive always asking if i do that i always feel panic and quickly get up to breath

What is the best for scuba diving?

hello, what brand name snorkel is that

nice

you are from norway

Can you please explain how to even out the pressure in your ears ? As I see you doing it but idk how to do it and I’m scared to damage my ears trying

But how do you get the water out when going back up

Thx can you relaxe in water

cool

What are your views on hypoxic blackouts ?

THERE WAS NO CONTENT

How do you recover then above water because I don’t know how to stay up

The water pressure doesn't hurt your head?

As you begin to dive lift your head and upper body out of the water then immediately bring your knees in and tuck momentarily then diving with your head down extending your legs vertically out of the water. Use the weight of your legs to drive your entire body down through the water column . . .

How long can you stay under water? I’m like to become a deep solo diver

Why on earth would you take the snorkel out of your mouth when diving down? You need it in your mouth and clear of water when you surface. In the sea you may be hit by a wave when you surface. You need to be able to breathe through the snorkel. You can exhale into the snorkel when still below the surface when ascending, and the pressure change will clear the snorkel of water when you surface.

Nice pool, where is it?

Oh so that’s how u stay under longer be calm

If you stay underwater with a snorkel 🤿 you will get water inside!

Tips here and there will be safe enough.

How long can he dive with a 1 breath

Ok how about the techniques to keep you underwater and prevent from floating up the surface?

I can’t believe this almost has a half a million views on how to inhale normally through a tube

Noice

I dont know i Can stay 1 min

The Blackout at the end...

Do u just blow air back into to tube when you surface to breathe again?

I cannot understant the usefulness of snorkel, since we still need to get air to the surface.

I have a question.Where do you recomend to put your snorkel to ur face?

I tried this today. I could not stay down. It was really hard.

Congrats on the Succes of your challenge in Norway got Talent

How come when I try to dive I feel a lot of air pressure on my goggles and it does not allow me to sully submerge under water. Like It feels like I have a lot of air preventing me to dive down.

I think some people just want to put a video on youtube nothing how to use the snorkel far as how it is use to breath with it.

Good day could you show how to remove the water from the snorkel now?

what model of mask is it?

How deep is the pool ?

I was hoping to see him surface.

can you a video about how to get your breath last long under the water

what dive mask is this

i can’t attach my snorkel and goggles because i don’t have any of the attachment things what can i do now?

Waitcplz answer this HOW IB THE WORKD CAN HE BREATH THE AIR IF THE TUBE IS NOT EVEN ABOVE WATER IT IS ALL UNDERWATER WITH HIM

wait a aminute, if ur deep under water, with a snorkel, isnt there a danger of water entering into snorkel

uh I just go down with my snorkel in and then use all my strength to blow the water out, I can easily dive down and go back up without surfacing

You really should have gone into how to clear the snorkel when you surface.

How did you train to stay under water that long?

Right, trying to figure out the purpose of this video. Why was the snorkel needed when you basically just went free-diving?

You spit your snorkel when you descend deep so if you black out your airway will shut and may float to the surface for one last chance at life. That's if your not over weighted on your belt.
