Wow, very scary, K9! Sorry you went through that. Haven't tried snorkeling for probably half a century & doubt I tried it in the ocean because I was always afraid of water getting into it, as it did yours. I could never breathe confidently, even in pools, for long.
btw how's your prostate situation? Getting your testosterone back, etc. I hope?

Smart I am not giving up that you have a sense of humor in there somewhere!

Glad you turned out okay or else I would have missed the opportunity to see you.
By the way that is so scary! Just how fast your snorkeling experience went from great to life threatening dangerous.

I'm a decent swimmer but not expert by any stretch. I was snorkeling at Hanauma Bay in Oahu maybe 25 years back , no action close to shore so I told myself that the buoy out there was not that far , as I swam out I looked back and said , what the fuck did I just do , I was way the fuck out from shore , thought for a second then laid on my back and started kicking like my ass depended on it , it did. I made it back to shore. Sat on the beach and caught my breath , thankful. There are lifeguards there , I was nearly ready to wave my arms for help.

I have motion sickness. Thought snorkeling in the Caribbean wouldn't do any harm. Tried some KFC there before attempting. Bad combo. The first dive for the certification was 50m. Wanted to vomit. I held it in until I got up. Felt like half an hour. Worst feeling ever experienced. 2nd was needing to take a dump but trapped in freeway rush hour traffic in the 405. Would I get the bends at that depth? Dunno

There is a companion phenomenon that occurs that is related to flying at passenger aircraft altitude then a short time after landing hitting the beach. Apparently there can be decompression issues that cause the bends.

I love snorkeling. Been in Hawaii many times
Last time I went snorkeling in Costa Rica they guide took me to a terrible spot and I fell on 27 sea urchins and had to go to the hospital (well. More like some random doctor in his garage full of junk) but I was desperate and in a town too far to get to the main hospitals
Sucked at the time but now it's a wonderful memory of what I should have avoided
If definitely do it again. Not in Costa Rica though lol

For scuba diving and your first certification takes approximately a sixty foot depth.
Eighteen meters.
To do a 50 m dive depth.
You have to be one hell of a scuba person.
