I know a guy who did a bailout from about 65m breathing from the valve in
Hawaii. I used to train for it in case of a hail-Mary bailout attempt. 
After a while, I stopped training because I wasn't getting any better
at it, and I didn't want to die trianing....

Fair enough; Hawaiian divers are freaks....;)
