NOt really. Not in a cave environment, in a deep penetration, and not on a
250 foot deep drift dive on a reef. Focus must always be there. You can
still enjoy yourself----that's why we do this---but you need to keep focus.

Captain Zero,
If you had studied yoga, you'd find it would "enhance" your feeling of
enjoyment on the bottom. It would "NOT" feel like work. It would be "fun".
And yes, the fat guy will benefit also, just not to the degree that George
could, because the development of the body in an elite athlete, will allow
relaxation of muscles to a much greater degree than in the sedentary person,
and the efficiency of the elite athlete's body while running on low heart
rates, will be far superior to the fat one's---which is why the fat person
will tend to run at much higher resting heart rates.

Regards,
Dan
