I'm actually installing my snorkel right now, I just used the jigsaw with a metal blade. With a steady hand it's turned out alright.

I was only out by 1mm. nothing a larger drill bit didn't fix
It's no proffesional job, but it turned out alright. Check out my build up thread to see a photo of it.

we have a few little units at my work with punches ranging from 22-90 odd mm in dia. much cleaner hole, a lot less work.

so is it a punch that punches the hole instead of using a hole saw

yes.
