No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recently, multiple models of Full Face Snorkel Mask (FFSM) have entered the retail market. However, several fatalities have been reported to the non-profit agency Divers Alert Network (DAN) for snorkelers who were using FFSMs, and most of these fatality reports have unclear or unreported causes of death. This project is to determine the characteristics of the FFSMs when they are in use by snorkelers. Volunteers will be asked to snorkel in a water tank while breathing through several models of commercially available FFSM, one at at time.
