This is the "Slobwinder" so huge fat slobs can turn off their tanks. It is 
also used by morons who insist on using the wrong drysuit, and effectively 
making themselves into the equivalent of a huge fat slob. The also have 
"Slobwings" to float slobs and tow them back to the dock with in case they fall 
overboard. This is a common problem in New England wreck diving. The Jersey 
"Slobreel" holds a fat slob to the wreck until a skycrane can be brought in to 
lift them back on board. These "divers" carry "Slobhammers" and tool  boxes
with 
them - not to get artifacts, to get down to the wreck . They then collect up 
bits of rust that look real good on "Slobmix" (air). They dive with "Slobbles" 
(double 121's) - a tank so huge that even a fat slob can get 15 minutes on the 
"Doria" with them.
