Etymology
Snorkeler comes from snorkel, the breathing tube people use at the water surface. Snorkel comes from a German word Schnorchel and is like the English word snore, which helps you remember that it is about 'breathing' at the surface, so a snorkeler is someone who breathes through a tube while floating and watching underwater life.
