Well, once a month I take a swim with a wire brush, take a few deep
breaths and the see how long I can stay underwater hanging on to the prop
shaft. But then I'm in warm water (never less than 18C) and it's clean and
clear.

Sorry, didn't really answer your question, but that's my conventional
wisdom on the subject.

hmmm... Ever thought of attaching a regular snorkel to some larger hose?
Vacuum hose is great with a float at the loose end. You can stay down a lot
longer. Some of the co2 you exhale will get re-inhaled each time. I havent
passed out yet though.. Fingers crossed.

How about a y fitting from the snorkel to two vacuum hoses, the float
on one would have a caged ping pong ball for an outflow only
and the float on the other would have a soft sprung flapper for an
inflow only??
