I have been following the thread on diet and diving fitness with great
interest.  I am under the 
impression that this discussion began to address obese divers specifically.  I
have a question that 
I hope someone could answer.  I am 6' 5", but only 180 pounds.  I have a very
fast metabolism, and 
have always had my skinny body type.  I only do minimal weight lifting or
strength excercises 
currently, but I do maintain my cardiovascular fitness by a combination of
running and swimming.  
This regime has been very beneficial to me, as my endurance has increased and
RMV gone way down.  
Is there anything I should know with regard to the type of workout or diet most
suitable to my 
ectomorphic body type to maximize cardio fitness gain?  I am somewhat self
conscious about looking 
like a pencil, and intend to begin some sort of weight training to bulk up a
bit.  I am curious as 
to whether this will have a negative effect on my cardio fitness, and if so
what is the best way to 
increase body weight while minimizing the negative impact on my cardio fitness?

Thanks in advance,
-Sean
