Can you rent snorkel gear at Hilton head island?

I don't know if snorkel gear can be rented at Hilton Head. I always take my own because often times the gear you rent will be wore out. Good snorkel gear isn't that expensive and it packs well into luggage. Take your own mask and snorkel at least, you will be glad you did. Rent fins would be OK.

13 How long will a diver breathing through a super long snorkel be able to stay underwater?

A snorkel longer than 1 meter (about 3 feet) will make it impossible to breathe as the water pressure on the chest will make it impossible for him to expand his chest and fill his lungs. A diver below this depth will need to breathe pressurised air from a tank.

Can you scuba dive by using a garden hose?

No.

Years ago, when I took my very first scuba course, the instructors had us walk from the shallow end of a pool to the deep end, wearing a weight belt and breathing through a very long snorkel. Nobody got all the way to the deep end before it became impossible to breathe against the increasing water pressure. It was a very effective exercise in that it taught us very quickly about the effects of ambient water pressure, which doubles in the first 33 feet of sea water.

If the intent of the question is to ask if one can breathe underwater through a garden hose used as a snorkel, the answer is "not deeper than a few feet". In fact, breathing through a snorkel deeper than about two feet is extraordinarily difficult. Your diaphragm simply isn't strong enough to displace the water at deeper depths.

One could use a hose like a garden hose with surface supplied air. The "snuba" systems used at some resorts use this approach. "Scuba", however, is defined as Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. It's a fair argument that any system which involves a surface gas supply is no longer "self contained".

2 Why does decompression illness occur among scuba divers but not among snorkelers?

The illness is related to pressurised gases... THE nitrogen gas IN THE BLOOD is at the breathing pressure it was breathed in at, so if u snorkel u breathe nitrogen at the surface pressure and that means you can hold your breath and surface fast with no problems.with NO CHANCE of Bends!.

If you hold your breath while using scuba the air expands as you surface and can kill you as the air expands.

the same goes for the nitrogen bubbles released whilst on scuba... when you surface u do it slowly so as not to release the pressure of the gases in your body too quickly, coz the pressurised N2 wants to come out of your blood like lemonade bubbles if you take the top off too quickly

Am pregnant for 2month how many cycotex you must take?

You are at the very limit for a medical abortion (before 9 weeks) and probably more so speak to your doctor. Cytotec is making you bleed so this is something you have to speak to him about. If you take too many you can bleed to death and too few and it will not work and then you need a surgical abortion. If you don't have access to a safe abortion provider you can see a doctor at womenonweb.

Bog diving, or bog snorkeling, is a competition originating in Wales. Once a year competitors snorkel the length of a channel cut through a peat bog. They are not allowed to use their arms, but use only flipper power.
