Yeah, Mike R. has a quicktime movie showing him and is partner departing the
dive boat using decidedly different styles, I especially like the "forehead
shove" technique the mate has. Mike, did you guys slug him when you got out
of the water?

I would still like something smaller, don't see the point in carrying 2
hours worth of burn time on a dive were your actual scooting time is around
20 minutes.
