way to have an ounce of a sense of humor. But to be serious, Most places that I went snorkeling were pretty far away from the main land. Where nobody is and nobody knows you are there except people who dont care about you and possibly want your boat. Most boat rental places will tell you that if you go out far enough its smart to pay attention and possibly arm yourself. This isnt Arkansas. Its the middle of the ocean which is the middle of nowhere.
