Let's consider AADIVER's case. Here's a man who has done thousands and thousands of dives, in every conceiveable condition -good, bad, and really bad, and at 72 is still going strong - other than some recent repairs on his optical systems ;-) So whether he chooses to dive in baggy overalls with an over-sized wing, or a thong and backpack - seems irrelavent. In the end it's survivability that counts, and he's found an approach to diving that has served him very, very well in this regard. So here's to (at least) another 30 years of happy diving, Mr. Farmer!
