lol sorry that was unclear, he meant some sort of snorkel styled apparatus that lets you breath while completely supmerged (including the 'snorkel')

This is sort of a half-truth that has been exaggerated extremely. Radiation is not healthy, and may in some cases lead to sterilisation.

No, I am not, I actually know what I am talking about here since I have been asked about these questions in lots of meetings and discussed it with a lot of different experts to be able to give qualified answers. But it is a half-truth extremely exaggerated since we are subject to radiation constantly and a mobile phone in your front pocket sending a signal to the mast once in a while isn't a considerable addition. Chance of cancer with it in your pocket still > chance of cancer without it in your pocket.

Although we are constantly exploring the subject, currently there is no direct evidence linking cell phone use to brain cancer.

Yes, there isn't, that's why I said extremely exaggerated. Anyway, if you want to be precautious the whole trick is to not lean the mobile phone on your ear, just a centimeter away and you are subject to much less radiation.
