I have done a lot of diving and snorkeling. In the proper environment you can have the full-on "Jacques Cousteau" experience with just a mask, snorkel, fins and some patience.
The two sports are quite different -- but the difference in risk profile, costs and equipment required understandably rules out scuba for some.
On non-dive days in the tropics I will typically get up at 6am and start snorkeling right away usually until 9 or 9:30a. My wife says I am first to turn snorkeling into a endurance sport.
