It may be a skill that doesn't require mutants, but it does require time.

If you need to spend time loosening your crotch strap (10 seconds would
be quick I expect) then you will lose around 25 cuft of gas during the
wasted time.

Can you afford yet another 25 cuft of wasted gas (on top of the 90 odd
we worked out you would lose anyway)?  Do you actually carry 115 cuft
of "spare" gas with you on dives?

Cheers Jason =:)
