Snorkels for spacewalkers: Astronauts to outfit spacesuits with diver-like device [i]Astronauts preparing to spacewalk outside the International Space Station are outfitting their spacesuits with an unusual device: a makeshift snorkel.

There is also a slight possibility their helmets could flood with water.[/i]
