No Snorkeling For Me. I'll Just Hang On The Beach With A Cold Drink, Thanks
-
Officials were initially baffled by a rash of snorkeling deaths in Hawaii, but there IS one common thread: all of the deceased snorkelers were wearing a new design of full-face snorkels, more a mask that fits over your face than a tube in your mouth. The problem: Carbon dioxide may build up and make the snorkeler pass out and drown. So far, though, the masks used by the deceased were all thrown out, so it's hard to test the theory. Until they do, maybe you should stick with the old school snorkel. (SFGate.com)
