Apart from the fact that they come in very handy when half the countries roads end up closed due to a foot of water, what are the benefits of having a snorkel?

From as far as I can work out:
-You can drive through deeper water Yup
-The engine can breathe better in dusty/ desert conditions Yup
-You feel like you're ray mears Nope

Are there any other reasons to have a snorkel?

(Asked because I want one to make my disco look better, but can't justify the cost unless somebody comes up with a real reason lol).

Most snorkels don't make anything look better, in fact they can make you look a proper tw4t when you lift the bonnet and 'real' Landy people see that it ain't connected ..

Actually some snorkels can make some things look interesting, if not actually better ...

If you have the scoop intake facing forward, you can improve efficiency by forcing more air into the engine....

....and then lose it all again because of the increased drag!
