Snorklausta

Snorklausta is a term that generally refers to the act of breathing through a tube while submerged or partially submerged in water, typically while swimming or floating on the surface. This practice allows individuals to observe underwater environments without having to lift their head to breathe. The essential equipment for snorklausta includes a mask to cover the eyes and nose, and a snorkel, which is a tube with a mouthpiece. Some snorkels are designed with simple open tubes, while others incorporate features like purge valves to expel water or splash guards to prevent water from entering the tube. The mask creates an air pocket around the eyes, enabling clear vision underwater. Snorklausta is a popular recreational activity enjoyed in oceans, lakes, and rivers worldwide, offering a low-impact way to experience aquatic life and scenery. It requires minimal training and is accessible to a wide range of ages and skill levels. Safety precautions, such as swimming with a buddy and being aware of currents and marine life, are often recommended for those engaging in snorklausta. The term itself is not a widely recognized or established scientific or technical term, but rather a colloquial or descriptive one.
