That's another reason why I say - you don't do this without plenty of
previous practice in the swimming pool to check out the feeling of all the
things which may go wrong. Better just take that deep breath . . . air
breathing diving of any sort is full of traps for the unwary.

Reminds of the article in one of the recent Northwest Yachting magazinea
describing the fellow living on his Hinckley?/Hallber-Rasey? 46 in Costa
Rica. He became enamoured of free diving. Unfortunately one time he needed
to come up there was a big power boat overhead. He drowned. Seems like a
dumb way to lose a beautifull boat/life.
