On my dive last Sunday I had a novice out on his 2nd OW dive so I was not
about to find out who could win a race but I had also heard that they were
perhaps not so good in a current and I was worried about their ability to
propel me up into the RIB after the dive.
In fact I felt positvely rocketed up - perhaps an extra 3 inches - it made a
big difference.
