I have a fullface snorkel and bought 1 for my nephew too. Doesn't strike me as something that would increase the risk of drowning, but this is a snorkel we are talking about, so at most we are only going 6 feet below the surface.Thanks. I'll check it out. Wonder why it does that, seems sager, but I don't know much about scuba. So....
Yeah, snorkels are pretty different . But wonder what's the actual reason. They used them in the cave rescue, which is interestingI have a fullface snorkel and bought 1 for my nephew too.

They should make it a monster movie like the descent and starting Tony jaa
Don't start a conspiracy!!What is funny is cave rescues happen and never make much news. Then this one makes news.
Don't start a conspiracy!!
Because they're kids.No conspiracy, just noting that cave rescues happen and not a bit of news happens then suddenly a lot of news.
Because they're kids.
And white men told them how to do things.
Why are we preventing darwinism?Kids and teens are the groups most often rescued from caves.

I am just surprised it is making so much news. It didn't make that much news in the past. I remember when some people I knew in the NSS in Bloomington IN flew to New Mexico with some others from Kentucky and Missouri to do a cave rescue that lasted I think nine days. It just made a bit of local news.
Has a group ever been found alive after 9 days missing?
I think its because many of the kids couldn't swim much less dive and would find the full facemask more natural. And the boys were sedated with ketamine to make sure they wouldn't be panicking during the dive so they wouldn't have been able to use a normal scuba regulator anyway.Yeah, snorkels are pretty different .

I don't know the length of time but in a wet cave which this one is a person can last a long time. You can go without food a long time. I might get in touch with my old NSS buddies and ask if they know.
I'm purely talking about the narrative.
I didn't even know about this until they found them alive. The divers were actually just searching to find their dead bodies but they found the group alive in a dark cave after being trapped their for 9 days.
Then they had to figure out how to get them out or keep them alive for 4 months until the rainy season ended.
This was an international rescue effort and an experienced thai navy diver died in the effort.
Are there other situations like this that you think were underreported?
Cave incidents in the past were very under reported, perhaps things are changing. The NSS is broken up into regional groups known as grottos, there was a double fatality during a survey that made little news outside of the NSS. There were some fatalities at Cheve that made a little news but still not much.
You didn't respond to my anything I said or asked
People want so bad to be mad at people, they find any excuse to hate and blame people. You have all these Americans, where the only risk they take is how much saturated fat is in their diet, criticizing people that live in the third world and applying our low risk mentality to them.Wait what?
Some people are saying the coach should be killed? Damn what the hell is wrong with them.
I just got off from a local political forum where half the posters endorse Extra Judicial Killing to stop criminality.
Some peoples Children.
This is what I have. Just saw this article and it speaks of the dangers of Carbon Dioxide buildup that could cause dizziness.Yeah, snorkels are pretty different . But wonder what's the actual reason. They used them in the cave rescue, which is interesting
