A snorkel is a tube-like device that enables you to breathe while keeping your face submerged in water. It consists of a mouthpiece, a long tube, and a purge valve. When you place the mouthpiece in your mouth and position the tube above the water, you create a sealed airway.<\/p>\n
The tube extends above the water’s surface, allowing you to inhale fresh air and exhale carbon dioxide. The purge valve at the bottom of the snorkel helps clear any water that may enter the tube, ensuring uninterrupted breathing.<\/p>\n
You can breathe underwater with a snorkel as long as you keep the tube above water and it is not fully submerged.<\/strong><\/p>\n
