Hidetaka,

(Guess that is your first name since you live in the States), I find 
it very interesting what you described. Never having been to Japan 
myself, I met both guest researchers at our lab and one lady who 
moved to Germany. Actually, I went diving with her twice. She is 7 
inches shorter than me, a tiny girl you might say, and she has been 
the only person so far with a significantly better breathing rate. 
I'm still impressed. We had bad conditions and she wasn't used to 
it (<2 ft viz, tide + current, cold, "deep" for her), so eventually 
she took my hand which made me stop our descent and lead her to 
shallower areas. I'm always happy when people do that rather than 
pushing their limits. She doesn't smoke nor drink, BTW. 

There is a saying that there are two kinds of Japanese divers: really 
good ones and really bad ones. It's a pity that they don't have 
access to the good stuff. (They should do it like me and move ;-) - 
okay, that's awkward.)

Claudia
