I find it amazing that there have been 6 people die snorkeling on Maui in the last 9 days! Almost all have been middle aged tourists. I doubt any are masters swimmers. Seems like snorkeling is a very low impact form of recreation, but instruction is necessary to do it safely.
Full face snorkels were used in some of the cases. I wonder if carbon dioxide build-up will be cited as the cause of death in any of those. Some dealers refuse to sell/rent them because of safety concerns.
