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?
what if you breathe in from the snorkel and breathe out into the water?
That’s where the water pressure problem kicks in. You only have to be a couple feet down before you can’t expand your chest enough to get a breath through a tube. It’s very surprising.
Never thought of that, you would need to keep the water from entering the snorkel tho. Or just put pressurised air from the surface into the snorkel but then you just end up with old timey diving suit.
You mean because of taking the mouthpiece out of your mouth? Just breathe in through the snorkel and out through your nose. The unbeatable problem is the water pressure on your chest keeping you from inhaling.
