 I knew it, I knew it. So you have the "smoking gun" on these guys. I dove with 
one of your friends from Sweeden this weekend, and he had a shell suit, and
told 
me there are no fat slobs in Sweeden, and the water and air are a lot colder 
than New England, which is seriously farther south, so now I know these guys
are 
all full of shit. 

 Richard, OMS makes a device known as the "Slobwinder" which is a giant 
speedometer cable which attaches to valve knobs so that these leviathans can 
continue to kid themsleves and still dive. They had it at Tek last year, and
had 
one of the most aggregious fat slobs in diving there to demonstrate it. They 
come with set of barbeque tongs so these guys can find their pud when they need 
to pull it, which appears to be all of the time.
