True -- but the *easiest* way of clearing a snorkle is the most unbelievable.
When surfacing, exhale a small bubble of air into the snorkle, as you tip
your head forward to horizontal, the bubble pushes the water right out of
the snorkle.  It takes practice, but it WORKS!  Meanwhile, learn to breathe
through your teeth.....O-)   <-smiley with mask
