Subject: Re: Cold Water Diving
Actually, I once had to reach my valves quickly in my 7mm suit in cold
water.  I had had trouble in the past and had to work at it.  But when I
actually coulcn't get a breath, I found it VERY easy to reach my valves.  I
now wear a compressed suit and have no problems reaching my valves.  But I
also know that adreneline is great for increasing flexibility ;)
