"The winning contestant" would be the subject phrase, with the gerund, "winning" functioning as the adjective to describe the contestant. "Diving for hours every day" would be a prepositional phrase, with the gerund, "diving" acting as the object of the prepositional phrase. "Diving" in this case would be the object because it receives the action of the preposition. It's also important to note that this phrase would be a sentence fragment. Although gerunds are often present in verb phrases, they usually need a helping verb with them to act as a verb.
Snorkel is not a German word, therefore; it has no meaning in German. In English, a snorkel is a tube that swimmers/divers use to breathe underwater. It's part of their diving masks. The English verb to snorkel is the actual act of swimming/diving with the snorkel. To say snorkel in German, the verb is schnorcheln, and the noun is der Schnorchel.
