You're right, of course. A FFM would be preferable. It's one of those things I know I should have, but haven't done it yet. No excuse. The Australian IWR standard protocol is 100% at 30 fsw for 30 minutes and then ascent at 1 foot every four minutes to surface. With no excercise going on, competent in water tenders and breathing at shallow depth, I'm personally comfortable with the exposure. Again, not an excuse for not having the right gear.
There, you've just about shamed me into getting an AGA.
