For that, nothing beats a chamber dive.

What? Too expensive?

Can't clubs (or shops) get together and arrange "charity" sponsor runs, 
or whatever at dive fairs? 

I'm sure that the hospitals-with-chambers foundations would be glad to 
organize something like a "march-of-narcs" as a fundraiser, and give to 
the public at large a chamber ride with a big wad of bubble gum for, 
say, $20 a head.

Come to think of it, don't use bubble gum, but "ordinary" gum, as the 
expanding bubbles (when the pressure is released) are bound to make an 
awful mess...
