Not wearing a snorkle is NOT about streamlining your gear.... It's about looking cool.... It's a fashion statement (like wearing only one glove). It's about being a rebel...
I SPEAKS LOUDLY.... It says "Hey EVERYONE. Look at me! I am AN ADVANCED DIVER, much more ADVANCED than you.... I don't need a snorkle to get in the way or 'slow me down'. I am VERY confident and sure of myself, that I will NEVER need to breath out of a snorkle."
