woa, wait a minute. I vaguely remember this being on tv when i was really young. It was only on early in the mornings and I just didn't care enough to watch it. I think the episode I remember was about reaction times using a ruler.

But when breathing through a snorkel your not fighting the pressure of the water, which is much greater, but the atmosphere, so maybe I'm not seeing it. But I thought it was mainly due to the fact the clearing stale air, which means depletion in oxygen level, every time though a long tube was the reason, it just takes to much volume our lungs just don't have.

Drew Labat you are correct the principle is the same you wouldnt have enough lung capacity to push out the depleted air only the top of the tube would have fresh air while you get dizzy and black out the other end due to carbon dioxide buildup... this can be tested without even being in the water just hold a large tube up seal your mouth around it and no cheating breath through the long tube you start getting dizzy thats the first sign of carbon dioxide buildup

wow thank you so much for this. I was curious about snorkeling and was wondering why a long hose technique wouldn't work and found this. looking forward to checking out more of your vids!
