MHK ,
With the same logic i can dive with my swimming goggles ( i always keep a pair
in my boat ) in case i forget
my mask home.

It seams that you didn't understand what's going on here !
You didn't get it that everyone hanging in this list is watching
so close how this people do it. You know why ? Just because they
are so good at it that everyone try's to copy or criticize !
It gets so difficult some times to represent a group or an
individual which others have as a prototype !
Unfortunately you don't have the luxury to be flexible with the rules.
If you wanna do it your way do it with your friends at the weekend.
