Hi all,
Then, ofc, the credit should perhaps go to the stone age hunter, who first placed himself under water at the riverbank breathing through a straw to better pounce on an unsuspecting prey coming for a drink. :-))
After all, a snorkel design is a bit more sophisticated than a breathing tube. That design goes to the Dutch. Rgds, RB
