To help you stay politically correct..... The regulator incorporated into the Aga is NOT a Poseidon, it is an Aga. They are VASTLY different in design, maintenance, and complexity. Also, the Aga is a great mask, and OTS makes great comm. systems. I use them both a great deal. As far as the spare mask goes, it is prudent to carry a spare mask. I have a mask pocket for just such uses, but the snorkel???? You're probably asking the wrong list if you should carry a snorkel...my guess is 95% of us don't carry them anyway. If you are getting into multiple gasses with an Aga, you will have to explore a means to switch gasses without removing the mask. We dive sub 40 degree water most of the time, and we use such a gas switching device. I have a web page with a picture of it. You can check it out at http://discover- net.net/~underh2o its in the Technical section.....the entire page will be changing over the next week as this one was thrown together quickly.
