George, I read a lot on the list and the WKPP website regarding gear configuration but I rarely see any mention of the most important piece of equipment, your body. I am familiar with your workout regimine through private emails and some discussion on the list. Could you please give a rundown on what the other WKPP divers do to maintain their shape. Is there some set workout rountine that you require for WKPP divers? Plus what training, other than what is listed on your forms do you require your divers to go through?
