Was your air intake completely standard at that point?

Yes.effectively ... other than I'd sealed the joints and rotated the air inlet out of the wheel arch so it pointed up and back, sort of 45 degrees, into the space between inner and outer wing. I'd gone through a puddle a few weeks previous and it coughed, spluttered and puffed white smoke a tad at that, so I checked it all out. I did have axle and gearbox breathers on too.
A week or so later i got the snorkel ..

I assume the is bonnet up is to show the stupidity of going into water without a wading blanket?

That's what my initial 'WTF were you doing there?' comment was about.
I initially paddled in, in my landrover, knowing exactly where my air filter was, and other limitations of my landrover, then reversed back out, unbolted my airfilter and sat it on top of the wing (see picture), then wound a reverse light switch into the timing cover, then drove all the way through with my head out the window

Tbh your filter would've been better off in the engine bay with a wading blanket/coat/plastic bag/anything you can find covering your rad.
Why??
