How many people find themselves using the same model of snorkel they started with?
Since the snorkel probably lasts longest of all the gear, unless you have a silicone munching chihuahua, I think people get really, really used to it. Even if it's no good to other people.
My OMER snorkel clip broke so I had to buy a new one in March, I can't stand those soft rubber holders. They didn't have the omer zoom at my local store. They only had the soft tube one, worst invention ever, and the camo one for $40.
I bought the Cressi since it was similar and recommended to me by a friend. So 4 months later I just can't get used to it. Just about every dive it bothers me unless I adapt to it and I had to put my old OMER torn to bits mouthpiece on it. I find it's slowly becoming an OMER snorkel.
On a similar note anyone have an extra OMER snorkel clip they don't want?
