One of our snorkelers was...

    Closed S10 Women's Aqualung Aquaflex Wetsuit (QLD, AUS)

    2016 Model Aqualung, Aquaflex with Stretch, Size 10 for Women. It’s with a heavy heart that I have to sell this, as it is the most comfy Wetty I ever wore. It has seen maybe 25 dives all over the world, but sadly despite its stretch, my butt only squeezes so much and I cannot fit into it...

To see how much gas is in your tank? Or does it literally mean "look up and watch your bubbles float through the water" ? And if...
