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 ;) At 07:31 PM 4/20/99 +0100, Stuart Morrison wrote: >I thought the key to Hogarthian diving was survivability. > >Is there anyone out there who is one hundred percent sure that in an >emergency they can honestly say they would reach the valves EVERY SINGLE >TIME?
