Pity on you don't have a bigger clue than that. Especially for
someone posting from a system called "MINET" which is, as everyone
knows, French for "pussy".
Muff diving is in essence somewhat akin to kelp diving, but is
(usually) performed outside of water. Which does not mean, though,
that the whole exercise is performed in thorough dryness.
It also does not mean (far from it) that the protagonists will be
exempt from any kind of fishy smells.
However, the good point is that it can be performed by anyone (yes,
even patended strokes), as one does not need to hold any kind of
certification whatsoever. Even better, to delve deeper into the
subject, you do not need a cave diving certification either;
however, though, for such a profound endeavour, wearing a drysuit is
highly reccomended, not to avoid the cold, but rather to avoid some
rather hot inconveniences.
