Dave,

As you finally come out of your closet and try to explain that we in fact do
not need to be sleek swimmers while in the water shows real wisdom . Your
history as a commercial diver must have something to do with that...
Next thing you will tell us is that you do not need to be in shape for your
type of diving, or maybe you won't be needing any fins either, since you do
not swim...
I really doubt that you are who you say you are, anybody with your
experience would know better. Let me correct that, anybody with half your
experience would know twice as much as what you are demonstrating here.

Serious Dave, to me it makes sense that a scubadiver needs to be as
streamlined as possible.
Although you might not swim that much in some cases, you will have currents
and situations where you want to cover a certain distance in a short amount
of time. Being streamlined is important in both examples.

What exactly are you referring to when you state that you rig differently?
Can you explain what configuration you use on such dives and why it is much
safer than DIR?

Regards,

THOMAS
