I retagged a snorkelling question as "diving" and just realized it - what would've been better though?

Question

The other day as I was doing my drive-by copyediting and tagging run I added the diving tag to the question about snorkelling in Hawaii without apparently thinking it through properly because I've only spotted it now.

But is it a good thing or a bad thing? Technically snorkelling isn't really diving, but would a snorkelling tag just be adding something with not enough use and not enough differentiation?

Should we:

1. Just always tag snorkelling questions as "diving" for now?
2. Add a "snorkelling" tag as well as a diving tag?
3. Make "snorkelling" but add it as a synonym to "diving"?
4. Edit the name of the tag to something more inclusive like "diving-and-snorkelling"?

If we do go with option 3. I think we should edit the tag wiki/excerpt to specifically mention that it includes snorkelling.

Answer 1

Posted separately as an answer since it's closely related but not the same.

We now have a "snorkeling" tag with one "l". I hadn't realized there are two spellings:

• snorkelling (British and Commonwealth spelling)
• snorkeling (USA)

I actually thought the British spelled tag already existed but it doesn't yet. In any case it's always a good idea to have these variants as synonyms. I believe the rule is the variant used in the Wikipedia article becomes the main synonym? As an Aussie of course I'm in favour of the "two l" spelling.

Answer 2

snorkelliing should be a synonym of diving, because I believe 'diving' covers all range of such water(sport) activities.
