Clearing the snorkel
When you dive underwater during skin diving with a snorkel in your mouth, or when you are washed by a wave during surface swims, or when the tip of the snorkel sinks below the water's surface, you will have to clear the water from the snorkel tube.
The most common method is to blow the remaining water through the snorkel in short, strong blasts when you are above the water surface or when you have just surfaced from below.
Even when the snorkel has been cleared, there is a possibility that some water remains in the snorkel. Therefore, breathe slowly and carefully. When water still remains in the snorkel, try blasting the water out again.
