George, I have to thank you for that. Even though we once butted
heads, I was still interested in excelling in this sport unlike some of the
strokes on the techdiver list.
The configuration that you taught me is so effficient and streamlined
that my swim pace on scuba has at least doubled . The configuration is so
comfortable and the confidence I now have in my equipment is unbelievable.
Combine this with the proper logic and it all leads to a better RMV and
greater safty margine.
Thanks,
John Walker
