Three panel comic.
Panel 1: a guy wearing swim trunks and a snorkeling mask walks confidently into the ocean on a public beach surrounded by some scattered onlookers. He is carrying an electric lantern and his snorkeling tube is very tall, extending up and out of the frame.
Panel 2: he continues forward into the water, nearly fully submerged with only the top of his head above water. The snorkel is still too tall to be seen completely in frame. The onlookers watch blankly as he disappears under the surface.
Panel 3: the guy is walking casually at the abyssal floor of the ocean, where no light penetrates. His electric lantern illuminates his immediate vicinity. He is surrounded by a collection of weird deep sea creatures, including a deep sea isopod, vampire squid, chimaera, and barrel eye fish. Can you name all the creatures in frame?
Fascinating, but that’s not a snorkel. More like a modernized version of the old manned bellows on ships supplying air to the diver below
That’s a bit pedantic isn’t it.
“A long snorkel wouldn’t work you’d need a compressor”
provides one with a mini floating compressor
“Yeah but now it’s no longer a snorkel”
Okay
Who are you quoting? There’s no need to make up arguments and insult me. That’s not a snorkel by definition.
I’m quoting this chain of replies? Context is important before you start replying. Just because you didn’t write the first doesnt make it’s context irrelevant.
“Hope he has an air compressor at the top of that snorkle”
“Those exist!”
“Now it’s not a snorkel anymore”
I cut out the part where you misunderstood my reply and had a snarky “yes, snorkels exist” but that’s the gist of it
