Thanks for that, But what sort of volume can it cope with? Some water I have thrown up from the wheels is quite a lot.
I have a safari snorkel, but have never really thought of it until watching that video.

enjoy your fun fellas, but please use caution...

Hey mate, very good point and one I've seen first hand with others. I should've mentioned in my first post that I drive that stretch of road every day and know all the possible places it can get washed out - have driven it in flood many times. If I don't know the road, haven't seen the condition of the road before flood or there is moving water I ALWAYS walk it first.

I'll add a disclaimer to it:

*WARNING! WATER CROSSINGS ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY EXPERIENCED DRIVERS. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO, IT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEFORE YOU DRIVE THROUGH WATER YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WALK THE ROUTE FIRST, HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN CROSSING DEEP WATER AND HAVE ADEQUATE VEHICLE PREPARATION. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CROSS FAST FLOWING WATER!*
