I don't know about anyone else, but I generated an island paradise map, and almost all of the caves generated flooded with water. I know i'm missing out on a lot of ore that i can't get to because i'll run out of breath too soon, so I think snorkels or something should be craftable.
Maybe they can take up the head armor slot, exchanging armor for extra water breathing?
I feel that we run out of breath slowly enough that you have enough time to dig air pockets. As long as you arent trying to drift towards the pocket as you mine it, you should be fine
EDIT:
Also, instead of snorkels, how about bamboo breathing tubes?

If you could craft some kind of hose with a flotation device on the end, that would work, but in lieu of that, I always just build a hollow '+' shaped tower down to where I'm working and go in there for a breather. To get it to work, you have to make it a solid + then swim to the top and dig down the center.

wood = sticks
obsidian = air

But I recommend just breaking a block in the ceiling of a cave to create an air pocket that you can use.
Then you'd hav infinate underwater exploration but it's REALLY HARD to make!
