Been reading a lot about shallow water blackout, but have a question about it more related to snorkeling. Is it possible to suffer a SWB during simple close to the surface dives? Example, 15 or 20 feet for 20 seconds? I'm a beginner, more interested in shallow excursions, but a scardy-cat when it comes to the issue of SWB. Thank you much!
