ABSTRACT:
A collapsible snorkel capable of selectively assuming a first fully-functional configuration and a second collapsed configuration such that when not in use, the snorkel is maintained in a space-efficient configuration so as to minimize interference with the swimmer/diver. In a preferred embodiment, the snorkel comprises an elongate breathing tube having proximal, intermediate, and distal portions. The intermediate portion may be selectively lengthened or shortened so that the snorkel may assume either the first functional configuration or the second compact configuration.
