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?

    Interesting, although I feel like that is more like diving equipment than snorkeling.

        No, the difference is that snorkeling is something anyone can do, diving requires training. Largely because diving is far more likely to kill you if you do something you may not realise is a bad idea.

        Not a trained diver but stuff like lung overpressure sounds pretty bad and can’t be caused snorkeling but could be caused with diving equipment.
