Yep many times I'd just roll over on my back & noty bother with it. I just got into the habbit of wearing the snorkel. I was a NAUI/PADI instructor for 25 years. It is thier policy that a snorkel is a nessessity. I lead by example. So I wear one.

re- "snorkel subject." I just prefer to take my reg in my mouth if needed for the surface swim, since I always come up with plenty of air anyway. But yeah, it's personal choice ofcourse.
The picture gave me a flashback to a picture from a friend of mine, diving double 20's and carrying 4 stage bottles, the snorkel clipped to his mask was the finishing touch
re- "Am I serious about the snorkel"? Yep, afraid so. After 35+ years of diving with one, old habbits are are hard to change. Only time I didn't have it on, there were heavy swells & a long surface swim back to the dive boat, I wish I had it so I leave it attached to my mask.
