At the beach the next day, Candy sees a man using a snorkel while swimming and asks Paul if she can borrow his. At first he denies he has one but when Candy persists she saw one in his hotel room, he reluctantly agrees.
The Snorkel kicks off in Hitchcockian mode with a murder made to look like a suicide, as wealthy Madge Decker is gassed in a sealed room, the perpetrator, Madge's husband Paul (Peter Van Eyck), concealing himself under the floorboards (via a trapdoor) and breathing air from outside through a snorkel and rubber hose.
