Found in Charles Spring

Did someone lose their snorkel keeper? We found one at about 600' on 1-3-14 and we'd like to get it to the rightful owner......

Describe it, Lol.

I was there on 12/30 but I forgot my snorkel that day.

Sent from behind a pint of Guinness.

I'm not saying this is the reason it was there but...I have seen divers use the two opening rubber type as second stage retainers for stage/deco bottles.
Not in cave, but in tech diving. One ring end goes over the DIN to tank connection while the mouthpiece is pulled through the other "ring".
It's actually quite reliable.

Hmmm come to think of it, it did have "CB" on it.....

Based on the number of beer cans and shotgun shells in the cave I'd say the locals are free diving it!

Hmmm....have seen locals use air pockets caused by divers to penetrate caves,by going from pocket to pocket using a snorkel. The "smarter" ones will use chemical sticks to illuminate the air pocket they used previously. First time I saw this I saw legs dangling down 400ft from the entrance and scared the crap out of me.

This would surely require a change in undergarments for me! Love quote..."'smarter' ones"...

You'll see a clear one on my deco bottle. cheap, easy and easy to find another if it breaks

Same here, on bailout's and deco's

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a very good containment, easily opened when necessary.

My goodness folks is it necessary to blog about cave diving in Charles Springs over a snorkel keeper! I thought we were supposed be responsible about county parks that do not explicitly allow these activities. Feel free to PM me.
