Default Snorkel

Does any one have a snorkel on their h3, and is there really any advantage for water fording?

My understanding of snorkeling with the h3 is that it does help alot because it prevents water splash from getting in. If you stop though snorkel or not and water is high enough it will either fill the engine or short electrical some where. Snorkel is added "insurance" for engine protection when fording at the max level for h3 which is said to be 24". Just my two cents.
