    If you could fix your bodyline, breathing, and rhythm — with one tool — would you use it?

    In this video, I’ll show you why the front snorkel is the greatest training tool ever invented — and how to use it to finally master your bodyline, rhythm, and breath control.

And it’s happening with increasing frequency. A quick internet search suggests an almost Hollywood-worthy revenge flick: a boat-scarred, vengeful orca is meting out attacks on fishermen and the super-rich. It’s a compelling narrative, but scientists aren’t convinced. For them, the real explanation is even stranger.
