Ok, guys thanks for all the input.  I agree with most of you - the 
snorkel has no place in SERIOUS diving.  As for the on your back -vs- 
on your face - well agian, my gear is hogarthian so I have no prob 
getting comfortable in any position.  Also, I've actually gotten out 
of the harness and laid right on top of the wings/tanks.  This 
position is similiar to using a seat cusion type life preserver.
This sets me high up out of the water and I feel I can move faster this way if 
I need to do any surface swims.

As for clarification - the stroke that got left behind did indeed 
have a lot to do with getting left behind.  It's not something I do, 
nor do I dive with people that do.  I just know of it from people who 
have dove with him.  Strangely enough, in true STROKE fashion, he 
actually believes that surviving a situation like that makes him a 
better diver - personally, a BETTER diver wouldn't have gotten in 
that position considering the facts of the situation.

thanks again for everyones input.

Mitch
